Try a pharmacy.

Kerosine also spelled Kerosene, also called Paraffin, Paraffin Oil, or Coal Oil, flammable pale-yellow or colourless oily liquid with a not unpleasant, characteristic odour. It is obtained from petroleum and used for burning in lamps and domestic heaters or furnaces, as a fuel or fuel component for jet engines, and as a solvent for greases and insecticides.

Try Ace Chemicals

Ace Chemical Co. (119a Mooringe Avenue, Camden Park, phone 8376 0844)

Dont know if they have it for sure but they do have quite a wide range.

If you're just after straight petroleum oil with no odour - grab some of yates 'white oil' spray for the garden. No other chemicals in this - I use it to swipe my plane soles on.

I know I was a bit cryptic above, but isn't Paraffin Oil and Kerosine one and the same?
There are a couple of threads about this very topic floating round here somewhere/

Paraffin oil is a medicinal oil from pharmacy or supermarket.
Paraffin is a foreign name for kerosine.

Your friendly local Vet will have some too. They give it to animals that are having problems with backing one out, so to speak. Laying a cable. Popping a Knob.

cheers Tassie , more than adequately described , unless your gonna add a few grunting gnuuurg type noises !:eek:

Fortunately the new dog seems to have "ample" cable expulsion lubricant as he lays a lot more cable than Telstra most days !

Barry,

I get mine from a chemist. Incidently, apparently they used to prescribe this stuff as a laxative.

Mike.
