[Pip]

Hi!, me again with another question!
Does anybody know where to get V.CI. (rust inhibiting) paper in small quantities?
T.I.A.

I think Matthew at Workshop Heaven sells some good stuff for rust inhibiting...otherwise use some mothballs in small perforated tins - Rob

Does that really work? Never heard it before.

Yup. seems to work for me, been doing it for years.
I use the Shippams fish paste type pots and punch four or five holes in the lid,chusck i 4/5 mothballs and put at back of a drawer. Use more if you are always in and out of the drawer.Cheers

Just a quick thought on this subject;
Can anyone tell me why the VCI stuff is so unbelievably expensive?
Couple of drops on a bit of sponge goes for £3 or so!
Makes plutonium look cheap! :roll:

I thought mothballs were banned years ago?

Nope...still very common and readily available. I've seen Martin's arrangements for using moth balls and they do work.
Martin needs a lot of them though :shock: :lol: - Rob

Thanks all, think I'll try the mothballs, if I can track some down, not seen any for years

Try your local garden centre. Mine sells them in amongst all the other pesticides.

Another vote for mothballs.
