PENETROL

[plymouthgrady]

I just got back from the supply shop to get some Penetrol and the owner told me that the Penetrol company was sold and it is no longer available. Sold his last can about a month ago. Is this true? Any good alternatives?

I just bought some a couple months ago @ home depot, and there was also some at the local hardware shop @ Barrow's in Worcester when I was ther two weeks ago.

That being said, when I tried it on the Duratrim, it really didnt help.

I ended up replacing all the Duratrim with Mahogany, and then used Starbrite Golden teak oil, came out very nice and it was easy to do.

West Marine even carries it.... well, they carry the Penetrol Marine. Probably the same stuff with a premium price.

Everything at West Marine comes at a premium price. :roll: I try never to shop there unless I can't find what I'm looking for anywhere else. Boaters World is my favorite retail shop.

Boatowners Warehouse has consistently low prices especially on repackaged Yamalube gallons.

One can will last many lifetimes, so pick one up now. Pass it on to the kids.

I saw it the Depot too, or Lowes, dont recall.

Guys who prefer anything with wood grain over starboard sterility hosptial look, it works good enough.

I also tried it on the Duratrim and was dissapointed. I accidently spilled some steering fluid on the trim and it looks like new now for a year.

Paint It Flat Black and be Done With It

I tired of the annual penetrol program and painted ALL of my DuraTrim flat black with a terrific Krylon product for application on plastic.

I like it. Lots of positive comments. It matches other elements on my 208.
