Clearly this gentleman has not used Waxoyl.
It does dry to a firm, but flexible surface, it looks and feels just
like dry beeswax, without mechanical damage, scratches etc. it lasts
for many years,and in my own experience, since 1979, without any
corrosion problems whatsoever. As to the source in the USA, the last
time I asked that question of the manufacturers, they said that in the
USA it was known as "Rustguard" and used in the marine and coastal
environment, however, I understand that it is also imported as Waxoyl,
for use by companies that specialise in the bodywork of UK
manufactured cars. But, as I suggested, type "Waxoyl" into your search
engine, or contact the manufacturers, Hammerite in the UK, they do
have a Web site. 73, John G3JVC.

>the waxoyl is an underbody protection used for vehicles but an oily
rather than varnish type substance .
>
>it is similar to the shelac ? fluid used on transformers but has
paraffin or similar mixed with it to keep it more pliable .
>
>if you can find something called NATO FLUID this is the stuff to
use , it is used by navy and military etc to protect steel and one
coat usually lasts a year or longer, it is much like diesel for
viscosity at first but dries out to form a thin sticky protective
coating .
>
>another option is to use ignition sealer from auto suppliers but this
would be more expensive way of doing it due to using aerosol cans
which arent cheap and dont hold so much fluid .
>
>to protect the nuts and bolts and feedpoint fittings try to get some
BATTERY TERMINAL protector which is used to spray onto 12v battery
terminals to stop them corroding, i use this on my gamma matches and
any bolts etc , it doesnt really come off in a long time .
> terminal protector comes in spray cans and is much like a spray on
grease and is much same as silicone grease in a spray can , once
sprayed onto parts the "foam" will settle and form a uniform layer
over the parts coated .
