  14. Shame the companies that do this as a service are not as conscientious.....have a look at Owatrol Oil...they use it for narrowboat hulls.....sprays on like thin varnish....can be used alone or in conjunction with Waxoyl....if you can get sufficient pressure, you can mist it in so it covers all the internal surfaces,....

    5L? 10L? In the cavities? Where does it all go chaps? This stuff doesn't need to be 1/2" thick!

    As a welder, I find it difficult to agree with that statement. Having tested my setup down carboard tubes etc, I know for sure I could more than adequately do a whole bus with less than a ltr of the thinner stuff and about a litre of thicker stuff like you're using. I draw out my probe about 10x as slowly as my testing showed neccessary and still use less than 2 ltrs. :)

  20. Ive done the whole area behind the firewall,the roof where it all joins at the gutters and honestly any place i can squeeze it in
    Ive even done the bracing bars on the panel opposite the sliding door
    I will admit ten liters may be a bit much
    But for a whole bus i wouldent want to use any less than 5 liters

    Maybe your cavity wax gun atomises better than mine?
    I bet yours didnt explode and cover you in wax when the nozzle got jammed in a rear arch tub:mad:
