If you buy more than one gallon at a time, you probably should like and tell them that you have a really big horse. For the record, the horse laxative seems to be a lighter grade (mineral oil light) than the human mineral oil sold at Wallyworld. Both work but the human stuff may take longer to drain off. I run various mixes of the two depending on what I have a hand when I clean the saws. Tom

I have seen that before and I will order from them the next time. I was impatient and excited and I wanted it yesterday. It would have been cheaper doing it your way.
