Good luck for your experiment.

Thanks. Already sold over 100 bottles locally, slowly getting the toxic stuff to extinction.

somehow cheapest solution on asphalt track where club put too much sugar on it (cheapest cola) and hot sunny day -> WD-40 on rubber tires

I just read TDK MSDS for their sauces: Methyl lardate(Pig fat oil?), methyl palmite C17H34O2 (Japanese honeysuckle, clove oil), methyl cocoate C14H28O2(coconut oil), methyl soyate (Soy bean oil?). I'm no chemist but I'm guessing the more hydrogen to carbon the softer the butyl rubber and cocoate has more hydrogen (2:1) than palmite (1.88:1). The best sauce I've used was a leather softener but it also stank and gave me headaches.

It's good TDK gives their MSDS. I've tried leather softener but still not good enough. For carpet I think we need water based vs outdoor hot asphalt oil based.
