Are you sure about this?
In US you can buy a gun, and they forbid you to buy a cleaning solvent?

In Italy it is even sold in the supermarket. They call it “Trielina”.

Would not surprise me at all. Our politicians have been trying for 220 years to take away our God-given right to keep and bear arms.

Since we don't have a Constitutional amendment protecting our right to buy chemicals, I'm sure our politicians have done everything in their power to protect us from ourselves by preventing us from buying or possessing all but the most harmless of chemicals.

Not a bad idea...dangerous. I like.

right you are... and everything up to and including baby shampoo has at least 2 warnings on it.....

I agree with that other Bloke, Saddle Soap followed by Neetsfoot and or Fromm Strop Dressing, always works for me, I collect a good many affordable hanging strops and use the above all the time with great results.

Have good one, tinkersd
