Good man, It was more a question for @The_Yellow_Ardvark

Cling film is better.

Plus it seals onto it self.

I use it a lot. Great to hold salt, vinegar and flour mix on to blow torches.

Now you’ve started summat! What’s that all about involving blow torches?

Don’t worry I don’t just dump stuff down the drains, for this I’ll scrap it in a old 20l drum and I have a mate who works for a company who specialise in properly disposing of oils and other hazardous material

So not really suitable for the average person then?

Me?

But I am innocent.

Paraffin blow torches are always cruddy when I get them.

Mix
1/3 salt with 1/3 flour and 1/3 vinegar into a thick paste.

Apply to said blow torch or any cruddy brass item.
Seal in clean film.
Wait.
Check.
Wait.
Check.
Unwrap, wash.

Hard work in cleaning blow torches reduced by 60%.

Well yeah it’s suitable, just my local council tip only takes old oil an batteries, plus my mate is happy to take it with a few bottles as a thank you

No.
In nearly all tool donations or shed clearance for MIS we get at least one paraffin blow torch.

They are good way to introduce new members or new to restoration into a simple useful tool to restore.

Plus can be sold for good money when restored and in working condition.

I would wrestle it onto a truck/trailer and run it down to the nearest blasters, our local blasters would shot blast and prime that for £50

The start.




The cleaning in cling film.





The finish after cleaning.

Peeltec from C-Tec. Comes in aerosol form, so easy to apply. Great on Woodwork, and I've seen it demonstrated on metalwork.

I use Starchem. I knew it was going to be good when my local body shop supplier got me to sign a declaration before they would let me have any of it!

I used to buy it from them. They now think that you need an explosives pre-cursor licence to possess it
