Amazon and Ebay - it's not cheap though. Nudging £30 last time I looked.

You'd be better off buying a tin of this from Wilko:-

I have a full tin of Kroil, and I really can't understand why it is held in such high regard. I've never found a situation where it has actually done anything.

It is definitely over priced, I have a gallon or so bought years ago when bulk buys used to give savings. Its efficacy as a loosen all doesn't seem to be any better than the usual looseners, atf and acetone, naphtha, diesel, white spirit, parafin, hot, cold, big hammer, vice grips etc. etc.
It did work reasonably well on leaded barrels but even there real turpentine surpassed it.
I just have it in the soak bucket now for filing away parts for future reference.
It has a cult following amongst some cast bullet practitioners with an extreme element that swear by soaking their mould in the stuff. I confess to having tried it and all I got was an oily mould with all the attendant issues that brings 'till the stuff is thoroughly removed.
