    Anyone have a good, recent source for wintergreen oil?

    I'm planning two projects for this fall and I'm just about out of wintergreen oil

    I tried looking up my last supplier, Natures Oil.

    It turns out the wintergreen oil market was hit with a recall, because commercial grade oil is supposed to have child proof caps.

    So, nothing available except expensive therapeutic oil

    Crap...I just threw away almost a full litre of the stuff when we moved labs , and it was the good stuff as it was date-stamped from the 60s

      Wonder if that’s the kind of thing my local Mennonite discount grocery outlet might carry. What’s a good price for the stuff? My mom is going there tomorrow. I can have her ask.

      What do you use it for? Softening carb boots?

        Yep.. I just used it on restoring my Carb Intake and Airbox boots.

          I use it for grommets and such. Just a bit of a soak while I'm doing something else
