    I also got in on the Kroil deal. I chose the spray can as my second can. It works real good for getting it in tight places. As a bonus I kinda like the smell of the stuff as well.

    Kroil vs Marvel Mystery Oil - ?

    Have had good results with the Kroil & molds. Use it almost for everything. How does Kroil (K) & Marvel Mystery Oil (MMO) compair ? For me K has to be mail ordered, MMO can be bought at the local auto store, Wal-mart .... just easier to find MMO.

    Kroil order

    Hi y'all
    I went to the kroil website to look at getting me some. There is a terms agreement with the below, part of the agreement.

    ALL PRODUCTS PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED BY KANO LABS ARE FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY AND ARE NOT INTENDED FOR RETAIL SALE, PERSONAL OR CONSUMER USE.
    By accepting the terms and conditions contained herein, Purchaser warrants that all products purchased through this website will be used for industrial purposes only and not for retail sale, personal or consumer use. Purchaser further warrants that it manufactures or constructs goods or commodities, or that it distributes to entities that manufacture or construct goods or commodities.


    Why and what is the big deal? What kinds of happenings will bite you later for agreeing to this and you are a consumer?

    Thanks,
    George

    I tried the Kroil on a new Lyman 8MM mold I got for Christmas. I degreased the mold as usual and then Kroiled it up. After getting up to temp., it made some really good looking boolits. They didn't drop without some persuasion. But, what I liked about the whole idea the best, is the ability to keep the mold in a state of readiness all the time. I know, as has been stated that Kroil is not going to prevent rust per say. But, all my molds are stored in my heated safe. I think under those conditions, the mold will stay just fine and rust free. I have never felt good about letting a mold sit with nothing at all on it, but it seems to be fine in my safe wearing a light coating of Kroil. All I have to do now is get it out and go. Getting my mold ready to start was what hindered me the most in casting. Now, if I only have an hour to play with, I can get some good boolits, Kroil up the mold and put it away. And, in all fairness to the Kroil technique, I only have a can of the liquid, so my results may have been even better if I had the spray can as recommended. I give the idea a thumbs up. The pros far outweigh the only con, which is having to buy another product. But, a little Kroil will last a very very long time. So, that's not really even a con either and everybody should have some Kroil handy anyway.

    I believe that the first part is to dissuade competition from retailers from competing with their web site sales. They probably have a pretty good mark-up on it and are discouraging any thoughts of a wholesale operation.
    The sentence: "Purchaser further warrants that it manufactures or constructs goods or commodities, ..." does not exclude you or I; we are producing goods and commodities whether we sell them or not.

    That is a disclaimer same as Micky Ds coffee is hot. Most NAPA stores have it or a tool supply place . The shipping is a little much if you dont get several items from the manufacture.
    Please read the sticky about useing it . It works better after several heat/ cool applications.
    I wipe the wet off and heat mold and cast about 50 or so put some on the mold and let it cool to touch. Re apply and wipe off and heat and cast.
    After about 3 times you can cast for several hundred boolits. You may half to tap a little but most times they will fall free. the ones that dont look at the hole with a magnfiying glass and there is a small bur near the edge that will hold the boolit. Shotman

    Another formulation is Silikroil. Two other products of interest are Kreen and Microil.
    Recommend all. Rebuild of 1977 Ford 4wd F250 and maintenance for 12 years of a 1973 Torino was made possible with Kroil and Kreen.

    You used to be able to get a gallon of kroil from Midwayusa.com.
    Tried it on one of my molds and didn't like it. The bullets came out all sorts of strange. Went back to using alcohol and it works for me.

    It is a product that we sell to lubricate the mould, and keep lead from smearing on the top of the mould.

    I just used Kano Kroil on a Q tip on Mihec's Penta HP Pins and it made the boolits just drop off with a shake of mold.

    Kroil

    Always suspected it is automatic transmission fluid and Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether, from the "pleasant" smell.
