Any chemist can order it in. Halfords do it in a handy spray can, which makes cleaning lowers a piece of pish

You might look like a proper mentalist, but pharmacists are weirder. They wouldn't sell me a 50ml syringe a few years back when I wanted one for a Psylo damper service.

Maplin. £12 a litre or something, but should last ages.

Maplin do spray cans of it that work out expensive (compared to buying a bottle of it), but they do last for ages so it's not really an issue. It works really well at getting right into the fork leg.

Choose your size...

They also sell little spray bottles to decant a little amount from, say, a five litre container. Works out pretty cheap. They also sell acetone, which is useful for ti frames and paint and sticky glue removal etc. I mention that as it'll cost £8 for delivery, so make the most of it.

Second the tin of it from Maplin it lasts for ages, only problem is that Maplin is designed to appeal to your mind and you'll walk out of there with other stuff you had never planned or thought of buying.
