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:

    http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_189604_langId_-1_categoryId_165750

    Fingers crossed!

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