Banjo:
Anyone use it, if so what do you use to spray it on.

Hi Banjo

I am in the process, and have the same problem...   :?

I am painting the outside of the chassis with a brush... making sure the stuff gets into all the seams and joins.

I bought the schutz gun from Machine Mart, just trying to find someone with a big enough  :oops: compresser to power it.

I intend to do the old trick of diluting the waxoyl with used engine oil and white spirit to make it spray better.

Good luck

Ed

Make sure you cover the drive/road in plastic sheet.  :doh:

waste engine oil is corrosive so by diluting waxoyl with it you,ll be cutting the effective use of the waxoyl, the best way is to warm it up by putting the can in a bucket of hot water and every now and then shake the can up to mix it round, once its warm it sprays on easy

sardonicus:
I did some waxoyling with a brush the other evening,seams and joints as you say,and never managed to get it so runny before,just left the can in the hot sun.I usually seem to be waxoyling in the winter when you've got to trowel it on !
I use the big can with the high pressure sprayer on top,usually o.k.but the nozzle does get blocked sometimes .
white spirit is best imo ,for thinning it.I've got an old can of what i think is some kind of hydraulic oil which is quite thin,which i might try mixing to do inside the sills.
might be a good idea to cover yourself in plastic sheet too when spraying ! :)
