    Hi..
    Does anyone know where I can get Owatrol Oil in the north east or Navan areas.. It's providing troublesome to find anywhere, Woodies have a place on the shelf but never seem to actually stock it..

    Thanks..

    I know of a place in Midleton (Cork) that has it, if you want to travel...

    IGOE International are the importerd, they might be able to tell of a local supplier.

    Is it as good as they say it is? Ive used the E-B, and that was very good.

    Looking at the site(which is a little falky), there is a shop online option, that diverts to a different site, that has free shipping for orders over €125

    I'd be interested to hear what the OP is using it for?

    Is it any use with car paints? As a stop gap rust treatment its great but I didn't think it would work with most car paints as an additive, but handy to know if I'm wrong?

    The igoe rep has been doing a good job as our local Motor Factor recently got a big display of it.

    Initally as a rust preventor on a few ongoing projects, I was thinking of adding to the paint on both an Escort & vintage tractor but havent investigated this fully...
    Although I havent used before I've been told its about the best at stopping/preventing rust on restoration projects..

    I've only started using Owatrol but have been using other products from the same company for a few years and found they do everything they say on the tin. I use Textrol as a wood treatment it says on the tin you can use Owtrol for the same thing and its hard to tell them apart.

    Where I have found neat Owtrol very good is where you know you can't easily get to the bottom of the rust like at the joins of body panels but still want to take some action to stop the rust getting worse in the short term. Owatrol just soaks in and stops further rust, not a tidy finish but better than more rust.
