Lanolin greese or oil

I have been using lanolin on my galvanized springs to stop any start of white corrosion. That stuff is a mazing, it nuturalizes any corrosion. My dad got some from work that he uses on his cranes. It was in a solid form where I had to melt it in the microwave and then was able to spray it with a spray bottle.

 

How many people use lanolin on their boats and where can I buy it in bulk maybe 20 littres 

 

Cheers

No real surprise but the aerosol stuff is very thin and light, it wears off fast.

Very interested in a heavier grade myself, would be good on the undercarriage.

smear the lanolin on all the seams and it helps protect them.

Dont spray it on your engine

Dont spray it on your engine block. Did this once and it absolutely stunk. We were out crabbing with the boys and I thought one of them had stuffed a bit spleen in there. Hideous smell. You can get it from most mower stores. Briggs and Stratton do a pump pack, aerosol or a grease.

Cheers Mick
