Where to get Arabol?

[Ozark John]

Anybody know where one can get a gallon of Arabol? Local is better (southern NJ) since I suspect shipping might double the cost.

Try an Insulation Contractor it is used 'lagging' steam pipes and hot water pipes, so being in NJ and the proximity to NY where steam is still used, shouldn't be to difficult.

Arabol is a milk byproduct and was originally made and marketed bye Borden Diary Company.

Hi there,
I was asking that question a while back, and found out that it is not made any more (at least in California). The old timer at the local boat shop sent me away with a gallon of new lagging compound, saying that it is what the commercial fisherman have been using instead, and that it was just as good. I haven't used it because I decided to rebuild the area instead, but it was coating many of the surfaces of my tug when I bought it. Seems to have sealed the areas pretty well. It is thick, so it fills voids very well, but you will need to re-coat it more often than regular old paint. (Maybe you already know all this).

I suspect one of the reasons Arabol worked so well, is because of the anti-fungal additives (also why you can't find it anymore). The new stuff is latex based I think. I'll be down at the boat tomorrow. I'll look at the label and let you know who makes it if you are interested.

I have used a product called ChilSeal which was sold at Doc Freeman's in Seattle as an Arabol substitute.

I got some tri-butyl tin at a paint store and added it as a fungicidal, but you might be able to use something else.

I just answered that question here:

Childer's CHILL-SEAL is what you're looking for. The referenced thread has contact information for the manufacturer.
