Title: Oz Shellite
Post by: Martian_A on September 07, 2004, 05:31:00 AM
SWIM has just toyed around with the ozzie shellite available at most supermarkets. F*CK OFF the Colemans, F*CK off the 95% Toluene. This stuff is all you need and it only cost $1.76/L :: Seemed to grab practically EVERYTHING. Cant believe SWIM spent $30 on a tin of crud toluene.

100% toluene is easily obtained in oz for ~$50 per 20 lt.thus, i wouldn't bother chasing shellite.

This may seem expensive to you rhod's but compared to seppo land... everything is fuggin epensive over here in oz! ;)

That FAQ is a load of bullshit rhodium (no offense to you i know you didnt make it, just stateing facts)
Shellite is pretty much available in every grocery store (and any other store selling metho or turps) and is defiently CHEAP for the consumer end.

Just getting some facts straight  :)

In australia, Colemans Fuel is sold in camping stores (metal squarish tin), Shellite is sold in a bottle, although very much like colemans. White Spirits is sold also under a seperate name.
