I wish I knew what they put in Polywatch, because a 5g tube for a fiver,

I use this stuff I buy from ebay, about £12 for 50ml. I think it's better than Polywatch

I'll try that. Thanks Richard!

I've been using it ever since, never even considered using poly watch. Autosol have quite a few different types

Just bought some from these guys https://www.infinitywax.com/search?type=product&options[prefix]=last&options[unavailable_products]=show&q=autosol

Cheaper the Amazon

Just remembered I'd got one of these so order some 2" felt wheels to give it a try.

Ive thought about getting a micromotor, but they are so expensive! what are your plans for it?

As @Jon pointed out, it's a versatile tool whose range of uses seems to grow the longer you have it. I think it's the same principle as with a watchmaker's lathe (which I don't have)—the longer you own one, the more applications you discover. The last time I used my multitool was to create custom steel rods for manipulating anti-shock springs and dress one of my brass tweezers.

If Bob Mortimer does it, I can't see why not... Only joking! But, Bob Mortimer does his own dentistry!!
