Hello Harold,
Thanks for the info.
Yes we do have an Alganite clay granules product sold by Castrol at
£5/20litre bag called MOP.
Sold as an oil and grease absorbent.
Never used it though.
Before these high tech solutions, I just used cement.
Just a tad messy.
Must give these granules a try.
Wonder if vermiculite or perlite would do the same?
Regards

Hi Geoff,

Wow! Shocking price you have to pay for the product. It's quite
inexpensive here.

I think you'll find it works quite well compared to cement, and easier to
deal with. The one advantage is it can be used and reused until it is
saturated, at which time I discard it. Mean time I sweep it up and place
it back in the storage container along with the stuff that hasn't been used
yet. It lasts a long time.

I don't think vermiculite or perlite would perform the same way that the
clay does. Could be wrong, though. You have to see this stuff work
before it makes much sense. It truly has a thirst for oils, and a huge
holding capacity.

Why don't you give us your impression if you give it a go?

Regards,

Harold
