GIBBS Penetrant and Lubricant

It does occur to me that maybe I should ask my wife where to get it - she's wangled a trade account with a polishing company who sell all sorts of solvents in Glasgow so that she can get decent paintstripper. The stuff with the useful ingredients (MC2) isn't legally available to the general public, bloody EU.

And she now gets through gallons of meths...

Acetone or meths?

meths is cheap and readily available (which is handy as herself uses a fair bit)  but, in the 500ml sort of quantities a home bodger like me would use, the acetone isn't cost effective. Hell, if I bought a litre from you the petrol cost of picking it up would be more that buying a tin of plusgas  - and I'd have to buy cake as well.
 
Eh?

A lightning quick google and here is 500ml of almost pure Acetone for ?4.89 with free postage on Ebay:

Hi Brett

I keep a couple of cans of the Loctite Frezing Spray around, decent stuff, my most recent use of it was on the rusted solid lower rear shock mounting bolts on my 92 Jag XJ40. The bloody bolts and nuts are huge, bigger than wheel axles on a Laverda triple. I wound up using close to two full cans to finally break the mounting bolts loose, part of what got me started looking for something better. Works really well on smaller fasteners, though.
