Bert,
I am pretty sure they had it listed by the quart(1 lb) also...I don't
think you are going to do much better than that for $14.45....after all
it's not going to ever go "bad" is it?
If the melting point is between 140 and 170 degrees, I doubt that you are
ever going to spray it except with some special heated equipment.....
Cheers, dave

Thanks, Dave,
Actually, the company that makes Cosmoline Rust Veto (the original product)
is still at it. But they'll only sell in industrial quantities: see
http://www.schafco.com/cosmoline.asp . I'm mainly looking for a
can-at-a-time retailer.

Bert,
As always, Google is your friend!
http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=26344/Product/RUST_VETO
By the gallon and the initial price looks quite reasonable. $34.95/gallon
+ shipping?
I had remembered a buddy that is in to guns having a formula to make it, so
just looked up...how to make it....and ended up at the URL above.
I think painted rather than speayed would be better.
Cheers, dave

Volks,
The metal springs of our old beetles came coated with a flexible waxy
Cosmoline covering that did a pretty good job of preventing rust. In
getting the frames cleaned up and repainted, I usually end up damaging and
partially removing some of this Cosmoline.
I've found the Cosmoline Web site. Sadly, they won't sell spray cans of
the
stuff in quantities smaller than a case. A writer to one forum says that
Eastwood Heavy-duty Anti-rust is the same stuff.
Anybody know where to find small quantities of Cosmoline at retail? Know
of
any more readily available products that do the same thing -- that is, a
flexible, waxy, permanent coating for seat springs?
