Plus Gas

Anyone know where I can pick up some Plus Gas penetrating oil in London?

any Leyland store, any local hardwarestore, BQ, Homebase, Halfords....

Thanks Rik, I tried my local hardware store already, and have looked on the Halfords and Leyland websites, but couldn't find any Plus Gas...

Are there other brand / generic penetrating oils that these places might stock?

Cheers

Whereabouts are you? The Tool Shop on Lower Marsh, next to Waterloo station sells it.

you could try with WD40,

Whereabouts are you?

I have a can in W9

Andy, I'm in Bethnal Green, so could get down easily to Waterloo. Do you know what the shop is called?

I have a seized seat post it's moving a bit but not enough. Hoping plus gas will do it.

Rik, I've tried WD-40, but it's not really enough. :(

Is it this place? http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/directory/1142/13884.php

dmc - That's very generous of you, hopefully I will find a shop but if all else fails I may come crying to you.

I found plus gas hard to get hold of. WD-40 isn't the same, not as thin and "penetrating". But I found a penetrating oil in the "3-in-1" brand range (they do loads of types now). In a spray can, very good stuff. I beleive it was in Halfrauds.

No that's not it, its on the other side of the street next to Boots.

Any old penetrating oil will do the trick. I've used Halfords own for years and it's never failed.

Sewing machine oil is meant to be even better than 3 in 1 oil.

Thanks all for your help, I live 2 mins from a Halfords so am going to try this:

Fingers crossed!

BTW I'm not recommending 3-in-1 itself for this! good for door hinges and lawnmowers though!
