How big a can? Can you buy MMO in bulk, like in gallon or even five gallon containers?

use as additive to window washer fluid. 50% washer fluid, 50% MMO. Works great.

Hey, can I swim in your pool Pele??

My joints ache a bit and a swim in that would take care of it just fine.

I haven't been on this board in almost 2 years, it is nice to see that MMO is STILL being used as mouthwash.

Unfortunately you can't link to searches. That would be great wouldn't it?

gotcha

You CAN link to searches but in a short amount of time the "searchid" disapears from the DB and then the search will no longer work. It;s just the way this board works.

I think searches are a good idea, but a lot of times just bringing the subject up again generates new information in unexpected ways, so I don't think simple, straight forward questions that seemingly have been asked and answered before should be discouraged.

For example, if Bob hadn't posted his dumb unsearched and uninformed newbie question about MMO (I can talk that way cause I have a lot of posts now), I would never have learned that you can get MMO in 55 gal drums. Thanks Bob!

And Bob, don't believe that stuff about mouthwash and swimming pools, they're just pulling your leg. It's good for just about everything else, makes your 7 run sweet and gives you piece of mind, but avoid bodily applications. Just think of it as motor oil with a pepermint taste.

Now what I don't get is why it costs more in bulk? I'm getting mine at 2.97/qt at WalMart, that's $12/gal x 55 gal = $660 for 55 gallons, quite a bit less than the $899 for a 55 gal drum mentioned above.

Guess I'll stick with WalMart.

Ray
