Hi Nigel...
Yes...liquid lanolin... :thumbsup:
But what is liquid lanolin & where to get it...?

Ive had conversations with Lanotech who tell me it is pure lanolin added to a certain type of oil...
They claim to not know what type of oil, nor do they apparently manufacture a same product...

Im curious to know what oil they use, & the ratio of pure lanolin to oil...seems freely available in US of A...but here... :unknown:
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...

Are any these what you're looking for?

https://www.repco.com.au/en/brands/lanotec/lanotec-general-purpose-liquid-lanolin-750ml/p/A9336149

The first two seem to be the 100% Lanolin

Reading the text in the Repco link (last link), that Lanotec product has the Lanolin blended with an evaporative carrier. Probably alcohol. It should have main constituents on the label somewhere.

If you look at the Amazon link, notice down the bottom it says "Customers who bought this item also bought"
one of which happens to be the same Isoprop that's in the 6.5 guys video

Hey Stix, if you want to know what is in any product, look up their respective MSDS, Material Safety Data Sheets.
It will list ingredients ratios, almost everything a young case luber could want to know :D
