Ferrule lube source

Living in Western Australia sometimes feels like being at the edge of the world. Although with internet most things can be obtained it comes at a cost, shipping cost that is. I will like to purchase a bottle of Renzetti Ferrule Lube, as the U40 one is no longer avail, but Mudhole as an example wants an extra $20 for shipping!! US postal service has First Class International as the cheapest shipping option and will be about $5.40 which I am prepared to pay. Is there someone in US who can do me this favour to buy & ship product to me? Please?

The product contains a solvent which generally carries an additional special hazardous shipping fee. It would be illegal to ship this product via the postal service without informing them that it contains a combustable solvent.

Ken,

If its for a bare spigot type ferrule, try using a pencil. A top notch blank/rod manufacturer recommended it a couple of decades ago and it has worked for me. I always keep a carpenter's pencil and sharpener in my kit.

Don, thanks for the tip. Pencil is mainly graphite with some kind of adhesive and graphite is a good lubricant, hmm. The rods I want to use lube on are all spigot type.
