Hi Richard, I got it at a regular local hardware store. It was $6.05 (still on the cap) for an eight ounce can about a year ago. The number on the UPC code is 79567 10068, and it also says "Item No. 10068" above the UPC code. It is a blue spray can with a red top. The label says:
TAL 5 A WD-40 Product Extra Strength Lubricant Resists breakdown from: Corrosion Friction Temperature Load Motion My guess is that any hardware store that carries WD-40 should be able to get it for you if they don't already have it. Good luck, John Nasta -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richard Milkiewicz Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 10:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Sticking clock John, where did you find TAL-5.
