I'm looking for a place to buy a small amount of Cosmoline. I need about
two or three tablespoonfuls of a very thick, sticky grade, not the spray
form used as a rust protectant.

Anyone know where I can find?

Would LPS-3 work?http://www.lpslabs.com/product_pg/co...n_pg/LPS3.html

I get the impression the O.P. wants it for something other than rust
protection, he never answered my query as to what he wanted it for,
though. Maybe he's got a "cosmo" tin from a squad 1911 cleaning kit
that needs filling for display or something. As far as the original
use of cosmoline, LPS-3 is about as close as you're going to get to a
spray-on substitute, I use it for long term outside storage. Not as
cheap as the original, though. Not as nasty to get off, either.

LPS-3 is nothing like Cosmoline. Cosmoline provides more of less
eternal protection on parts not exposed to the sun. This is why it is
so difficult to remove.

Not so with LPS-3. I sold a 25 lbs jar of Cosmoline recently.

LPS-3 is good for a year or two in the sun and rain. I spray it on
galvanized roofing and the exposed welds on my trailer. Once a thin
rust or zinc oxide film has formed it holds the LPS-3.

For me, it was good for 6 months. Yes, it does work pretty well.

There is also LPS hardcoat. lasts longer, leaves a wax more like a not
sticky cosmoline. supposed to last ten years inside. I'm still
testing. get back to me in another nine years.

Just as an aside, I put vaseline on my bird feeder pole to keep
squirrels off it, and I expected to have to regrease it weekly or so.
It's now been 8 months out in wind, rain & snow and it's still quite
greasy. I can't say how rustproof it is, as the pole is painted.
