You sell actual Caig brand quart containers of Deoxit for only $8.00? Geez
that way below even what a wholesaler would pay direct from the mfg. How do
you do that?

Has anyone here tried Bill's formula? How does it stack up against
"real" DeOxit?

Scott:
The "REAL" DeOxit is a formulation created by Cramolin, made in Germany and
still sold here in the Magic Kingdom. Given the labeling requirements here,
Cramolin is not able to hide behind the proprietory shield as does Caig in the
US.
The label reads:
Oleic Acid: 5%
Petroleum solvents and propellant: 95%
Contains no CFCs
Highly Flammable
Of course, it is only $2.70 (SR10) for a 300ml can, so it is hardly worth it
for me to mix my own.

Or you can go here and get it for 13.89 a gallon!!!!

HANDLING CHARGE
There will be a $3.50 charge for each order placed.
ORDER MINIMUM
There is a minimum order value of $10.00 excluding shipping and handling.
FREIGHT
Freight and packaging are the most expensive parts to your order. We
normally ship via UPS & Fedex, However when a material is classified as
hazardous, additional charges are incurred. We will try to determine the
most economical method of shipment for you. We are not able to ship
Hazardous Materials via FedEx AIR
even with the 8 dollars shipping it's still 25% cheaper than turner...
Figure this...
8 dollars for 5% of 1 quart....you add the additional 95% yourself.
For 24 dollars including shipping and handling you get 100% of 1
gallon...
My point is...It's a ton cheaper elsewhere....period. Another plus
is that you don't have to deal with Bill.
Buy it from Bill if you want....it's your money!
>I THINK "litte vino" HAS HAD TOO MUCH. . . .
Damn right!......of you!!!!!
8 dollars shipping? From what puff of air did you grab THAT figure? The Hazmat
Fee alone is at least $20 plus UPS rates for the package and whatever they
demand be done to pack it properly, plus the "handling charge".

Bill is fine, and we deal with him because we want to, but I wish we didn't
have to deal with you.
What's your name going to be next week? How about "Vicious Cowardly
Repetitive Brat".
If you have nothing useful to add, and nothing to learn, why don't you just
go get a gallon of the stuff and soak your little head in it for about an
hour. It may not help you, but it would be a great aid to the hobby.

Don't like it...don't read it Kenny...
I'm sure Bill doesn't make much on each qt. after postage, the bottle,
packing, paperwork and the trip to the PO. He is re-packaging from a
larger bulk buy.
Here are the numbers for those few out there who want to criticize what
he is doing:
1 qt. oleic acid at 5% will yield 20 quarts of final solution.
1 qt. Bill's oleic acid $ 8.00
19 qt. Naphtha @$3.00/qt $57.00
------
$65.00
DeOxit:
(conversion: 1 US quart = 0.94635295 liter)
20 qt = 18.927059 liters
18.927059 liters / .2 liters = 94.6 cans of DeOxit
94.6 cans of DeOxit x $8.95 per can = $846.67
Bill's price for 20 qt of "Bill's DeOxit": $65.00
Caig's price for 20 qt of DeOxit: $846.67
...and this doesn't include extra shipping charges you will pay from
whatever source you choose for DeOxit!
Bill is an excellent supplier. He is doing us a real service. Sure you
can concoct "DeOxit" for less by buying oleic acid and naphtha in big
quantities, but let's get real!
Phil B
You don't get a quart of oleic acid...you get 1.6 ozs. which is enough
to make 1 quart of the final solution.
from his site:
My recommended mix with the Coleman fuel (naptha) or regular lighter
fluid is 5% (similar to Caig's DeOxit D5). You may also add acetone
to speed up the drying time. Due to shipping restictions I cannot
supply the fuel but I make the oleic acid available for you to make up
a one quart supply. Try it, I'm sure you will be surprised. - $7.00
Postpaid.
You may want to revise your numbers...
What's been sold is enough to make a quart at 5%...
Once a quart of naphta is added...
My maths say about 1.6 ounces of oleic acid...
But nowhere is it said about the qty of oleic acids sold.
>Bill's price for 20 qt of "Bill's DeOxit": $65.00
My maths say 8$ * 20 qt = 160$ which means 20 * 1.6ounces = 32 ounces
Multiply by two = 320$/gallon and it's still NOT DeOxit.
Gallon of oleic acid (64 ounces) is $13.85, add 20$ for whatever + 10$
shipping and
$3.50 handling for a total of $47.35 (I know you can get it for much cheaper
than that).
I believe I have the numbers right.

I'm sorry that you can't see the astronomical price difference in what
Bill charges and what the stuff costs. You should look back at your
math. It's second grade material. I think you can get it right if you
try real hard.
For the record, Oleic acid is not considered a "HazMat" in the sense of say....
Acetone or Naptha. It is a common enough material used in the food industry,
metal-processing industry and several other applications. Yes, as a chemical it
comes with an MSDS, but so does about everything else that is bottled, canned
or packaged as a chemical rather than directly as a food. And it does require
special packing to prevent a mess in transit, but that is about it. Household
ammonia or bleach, even Drano or Easy-Off are far more dangerous.
BTW, DO NOT be tempted to "enrich" the product by increasing the percentage
over 5%. That may well result in a sloppy mess and damage to whatever you are
using it on. A stronger solution is fine for soaking parts that are neither
plated nor porous, but be careful!

Bad conversion from liters, my mistake. It's even worse than I thought.

Its even cheaper when you buy it by the 55 gallon drum. Or better still
via the tanker load.

Well, I've been using nearly TWO 5oz cans a year of deoxit so thats 2.5
ounces of the oleic acid I might need to hang onto for my personal use
for the next five years. I'll put a big tap on the side of the tanker
and all you guys can come take your fill at the retail gallon rate of
13.85...one gallon minimum please and please bring your own container.
If I have to bottle it up and mail it to ya its gonna cost you $7 for an
ounce or two postage included.
Hmmm, wonder what the shelf life is on this stuff?
-Bill
It's not that fact that turner is ripping off anyone. It's the fact
that you don't have to deal with the guy if you don't want to. That is
what makes it such a fantastic deal. And believe me, every time I see
a chance to point out a better deal that Turner it will happen.
Hmmmm....I wonder if Turner pays federal income tax on all those cash
sales? I guess I gotta check into that.
Funny thing if you had to actually own up to your sorry identity. Actually
crawl out from under your rock and face the world as you are.

Oh yes you can. I know a guy on the receiving end of IRS hassles, as
well as receiving attention from several state agencies :-) Thing is,
they have better things to do than go after a retired person who might
make a hundred bux a month with his hobby which probably wouln't be
taxable anyway.

So.....I've nothing to hide.
It is you guys that keep pushing the buttons. I simply pointed out a
cheaper way to do something. If you don't want to save money then deal
with bill.
You must reveal your identity to the agency (ies). And expect to be audited
yourself if you try. Really. I have "inside" information on this one... a
relative works in that department.
You're right, I should have ignored the troll.
I suppose I was worried about a newbie possibly being turned-off to a great
parts source, but that's silly since this troll is so full of baloney that
I'm sure even a newbie can figure out who's full of it and who's not.
Especially when the troll goes so far as to bring up notifying a government
agency that a hobbiest is making a few pennies on something. Eee Gads!

I disagree. If you provide or point them to some evidence and its worth
their while they will pursue it without needing to know the source.
They aren't going to pay any attention to a presonal grudge war where no
evidence exists other than an anonymous tip.

Olive oil contains very little free oleic acid, most of it is bound up
in compounds know as triglycerides. The amount of free oleic acid is
the basis of the classification of olive oils. The best olive oils
have less than 1% free oleic acid; the lower grades have about 3-4%

Not a hazmat fee from YOU Bill. However, some clueless cheapskate buying
by the gallon from a chemical supply house, might expect to get soaked for one,
necesary or not.
I see Hobby Wholesalers who routinely charge Hazmat shipping on model
rocket motors which are NOT big enough to require it. Why? It's a bit of extra
profit, and they collect it from the people who don't complain about it.

There is no haz mat fee. Why don't you ask Bill? I'm sure he buys it
by the gallon so that he can pass the big savings to clueless people
buying it in the 1.6 oz bottle for 7 dollars. He would be the one to
ask about a hazmat fee. Let's see...for 25 dollars I get enough oleic
acid to make 80 quarts.....WOW! If I sell it for 7 dollars a bottle
thats a whopping 560 dollars...another big WOW! Lets see...subtract
shipping, labels, bottles...let's say abot 2.00 or so per
shipment...that leaves me with only 450 dollars....
Yep...you guys are right...it makes much more sense to buy it from
Bill. Too bad I've wore out my welcome with Bill. I'll never be able
to buy from him!

Which is, sorry for adding to the senseless off-topic discussion, not
exactly surprising from what I see. People in this group trolling
against him, etc. Just let Bill do his thing, he seems to enjoy doing
it, and I can imagine he is of real help to most of his customers. Maybe
I'll do the same thing after I have retired, who knows. In some 40 years
I will know, anyway.

Why don't you buy a gallon and give Mr. Turner some compitition? See
if you can buy the product and smaller containers and don't forget to
include postage. See what you can sell it for.
reminds me of the scene from "tombstone" where doc is lying the in bed and
wyatt asks doc why johnny ringo is so "angry inside"(to paraphrase). doc
replies.."for being born." seems to fit some of the individuals who hang
around just to be "angry."

The implication is that this product at $8.00 a gallon, contains
identical ingredients with the same level of efficacy and performance
as DeoxIT. Since DeoxIT contains seven to ten different ingredients,
this claim is completely misleading.
Concerning a reference to oleic acid being listed on the Cramolin
label, the Cramolin formulation is over fifty years old, and as such,
it is highly unlikely that the makers of this product would be foolish
enough to give their secret formula away by listing a secret
ingredient on their label. If that were the case, we would have over
fifty companies simultaneously producing Coca Cola, for example.
CAIG is committed to insuring product compatibility and performance.
To accomplish this, we invest considerable resources and time working
with numerous industries to make sure that our products are compatible
with different materials and perform exactly as promised.
I hope this clears up any misunderstandings and clarifies that the
product sold by Mr. Turner is not in any way shape or form our DeoxIT,
ProGold or PreservIT. Our products are available in pens wipes and
sprays in many easy to use non-flammable versions no highly flammable
lighter fluid available). We encourage you to visit www.caig.com and

>Concerning a reference to oleic acid being listed on the Cramolin

Seventy. I once found a European trademark registration from about
1931, for a treatment for motor commutators, called Gramolin then.
The name probably derived from "Gramme" (the inventor of the
commutator) and "olein" (derivatives of oleic acid). There's no
particular reason to think there were additional ingredients in the
original formula.
73, Alan
SASO (Saudi Arabian Standards Organization) requires that all ingredients be
listed, and in order of proportion, same as with Coca-Cola in the US, OR by
percentage-of-each... please take the time to read Coke's label before shooting
off your fingers (equivalent of mouth in this venue). For items distributed
here in Saudi, that usually consists of a small paper stick-on label. For the
Cramolin product distributed here, the list is:
Oleic Acid: 5%
Other volatile hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon and/or CO2 propellants: 95%
Now, "Naptha" could consist of pentane, iso-pentane, even some hexane.
Depending on how the iso-pentane is "called" that could be up to three
*different* ingredients. There might be a few longer-chain molecules as well.
Hydrocarbon propellants could consist of propane, or butane.
But just superficially:
1. Oleic Acid
2. Pentane
3. Hexane
4. Propane
5. Butane
6. CO2
7. Isopentane
About covers it.
Note that anyone with access to a gas chromatograph could determine pretty
closely *exactly* what is in your product. It ain't nohow any secret. About the
only question is around the fine edges of proportion.
Sorry, but to paraphrase Shakespeare: Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Gosh Peter....you are so lucky to live in the armpit of the world!
And I always thought that was Bayonne, NJ?
In any case, I am not so sure how to take such a sentiment from someone who has

speaks but one language... badly.
Haha...yep...helped drop bombs on those crap countries...too bad Saudi
wasn't included.
