Is it possible to re-charge these ?



If you look at the safety sheet, it says what's in it: "A blend of corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants, metals deactivators in a hydro refined napthenic oil"

So, I think the practical answer to your question is no.

When I were a lad, we had a grandmother clock at home, nothing special plain steel construction. A clock repairer advises us to keep a small pot with a cotton wool pad in it moistened with a few drops of paraffin. Despite an old cold damp 50s house, that clock never rusted or needed lubrication. Might be worth a try?

Sounds like old fashioned mothballs to me ?.

I think I took the OP rather too literally, ie could he get the same product in liquid form? I agree there are alternatives, including wiping everything down with an oily rag. (That's such a cliche.)

I'd forgotten about using camphor tablets. Ill give them a try, Many thanks
