If you have any WD40 I’d try that first.

Dancie:
How about this ?

Bill21:
I wonder if it’s much different to this at half the cost?

Or this even cheaper stuff? I’d be tempted to try it as I have a Halfords up the road from me.

Looking at the MSDS for the Axminster stuff it seems to be 95% Ethanol. You can get a litre on eBay for a lot less.

I attached the stump of an old toothbrush to my saw to clean the bottom tyre where the blade leaves it. Had no problems since.

Bill21:
Mine has something like that fitted as standard. Maybe I need to replace it with something stiffer as I don’t find it that effective. The blades themselves are ok but I get a lot of muck sticking to the tyres sometimes.
