That's a great find Mike! Think I'll order up 5 gallons of it. Got a lot of project bikes to refill.
Do they have Lucas smoke refills too?

Meh, I've been mixing my own at home for years.
Much better than that store-bought stuff!
No, I won't share the recipe, it's an old family secret.  ;)

Yes, very familiar with MacMulkin. 

When my buddy bought his C8 I was hoping he would do museum pick-up in Bowling Green so I could tag along but he wasnt interested.

When I was working in the gun shop, a guy came in selling the stuff.
In a spray can, labelled nicely as "Blinker Fluid, helpful in Colorado's Climate"!
