Hi all,
Not a boat and I will delete the topic if there are no responses. Did not know where else to post. The RNZAF used gallons of a product called "Lion Oil" in Fiji to protect all metal surfaces on aircraft and boats. Up until the '70's. Does anyone know of a source now please? It was originally developed in the USA as a concrete sealer and made under licence in NZ. All manufacture of this product appears to have ceased, whether by superceded chemicals or no longer pc correct, I do not know. I need to discover the ingredients for a similar purpose. cheers, Art

Thanks Christian.
I was using Deks Olje 30 years ago on Guadalcanal building boats. Lion Oil has different characteristics and is a more viscous product although achieving the same outcome. Arthur

Owatrol/Polytrol is thicker than Deks Olje D1, oily rather than watery consistency.
It sounds as though you may want to try G4 sealer. Very thick, like golden syrup.
