I bet the problem is only with the label on the cans.
  But having said that if you have get-rid I could provide a good home for some more.

Not a problem, i will keep you posted, i have about 75kg in total

I understand what you are saying, but I happen to look after many cars and trailers in the family, and one horrible vw van in the family. It has many uses and I get through at least one pot a year, so one 25kg tub would probably see me out  ;D

Are you taking into account the shortened lifespan from using the evil killer stuff in the first place  ;D ;D ;D

Sounds like your verging on trade, and could use that amount!
Wouldnt want it cluttering up the garage.

25kg of copperslip will be bloody heavy
if it was 25kg of feathers or something light would be easy to manage  ;D

Hang onto it, its great stuff, it works well, Marshall Amps use it and keep working for decades. HP laptops use the new stuff and die after 13 months :'(

ken
Are you referring to the Nvidia Chip that break free from the board? Laptops and BGA's dont last 5 mins now  >:(

yes, but its not actually breaking free. Nvidia admitted this, they use a crap chip substrate that breaks down after so many heat cycles, usually after 13 months. I have had experience of bad BGA soldered joints, eg the HP NX 7010 using an ATI graphics chip tends to get bad joints. I have access to an Ersa IR500D, so repaired several by reflowing the joints, eg apply flux and heat up to reflow temp. I tried this with a DV 6000 board, it started working ok but the wireless was still duff, so I think the heat caused a temporary repair which caused the chip to start working again. I suspect it will die soon; my son sent his DV9000 off to HP for a board replacement, it died after 4 months.  :'( :'( :'(

Curious isn't it ?  Warranties typically last for 12 months, yet  faliure at 13 months is also the apparent norm !!!!!!  Built in obselescence ?????

Getting on for 20 years ago, the bloke I worked for bought a big tub of copper slip like that described, on the cheap from somewhere. Over the next few weeks various tins were taken in by us workers so we could redistribute  small amout each. I'm still working my way through my tin!  ::) ::) ;D  ;D  ;D

We have this amount due to working in the steel industry, we use lots each week, the 75kg tins we found is very old stock lurking in a dark corner. ;D

Even easier if you smear the feathers in copper-slip to stop them blowing away. Then you also have a built-in handy applicator to stop it getting on your hands when you are doing your brake pads!

"The NOW! grease. Ready cut, easy to handle...." Oh,dear!
