[Joe Mc]

Ah, never heard of it? Is it wax or oil, or a combo of both???

Here is a recipe posted long ago by another TDR member. His name appears at the end of the post.





I posted a couple of recipes for making your own Waxoyl a while back which I'll repost for the upcoming winter season:







Recipe #1



Take a ½ kilogram of paraffin wax or candle making wax and grind it up with a cheese grater. Soak it in 2 liters of mineral spirits/ Paraffin/ Kerosene/ lamp oil/ Diesel until all of the wax is dissolved. It might take a couple of weeks. Stirring will cause most of the wax to dissolve, but soaking should take care of the rest, heating the mixture in hot water (no open flames) will add in the quick dissolving of the wax. Generally try to dissolve as much wax as the mineral spirits/ kerosene/ paraffin/lamp oil/ Diesel will hold. Pour one liter of mineral oil/ non-detergent motor oil into the dissolved mixture. If the mixture is too thick for spraying you can thin it further with more mineral spirits until it is of a spray-able consistency.



Recipe #2



Here is a recipe for homemade "Waxoyl". It's an old fashioned rust treatment / undercoating:



2 1/2 quarts turpentine

12 oz. beeswax / candle wax

1 quart light machine oil



With a cheese shredder, cut the wax into the turpentine, stir until the wax has dissolved, (takes a long time; you can use very low heat (a warm room) to aid but be careful) and thin with the machine oil to a brushable / sprayable consistency. Apply liberally. You can use a hand spray bottle to get into closed-off sections if you have a small access hole.



Please be sensible when you make this stuff; don't go breathing the fumes or applying heat and burning down your house. If you have any doubts about it, err on the side of caution and just buy a commercially available product.

[w-cummins]

I got mine from the local JCB dealer. It's used on the slides for an extendahoe on their backhoes. They sell it in gallon cans.

Eastwood use to sell it but now sell this product. I think it is the same stuff. I use it for inside doors and frames. It is made in England. Waxoyl site. Good stuff.

Like was stated above, a JCB dealer should have the stuff. JCB is a heavy equipment mfgr based out of England. They now have a plant in Savanah, Georgia.

We stock it at my work, If you can't find it anywhere, let me know and I can get you some, we have it in a aeresol can and it goes on and dries semi clear with a little bit of a yellow tint to it, the gallon can is black, it can be brushed on or applied with a pressurized spray can or a undercoating type spray gun.

I have done my vehicles with it and am pleased with the product.
