Evening world, why can I not get Rustall in England ? It would seem I have a better chance of finding 3 wise men and a virgin or maybe a unicorn. Boooooo!!

It works both ways , I see a lot of stuff advertised over there that I can't get because the dealers either don't ship or because the pound is worth more so it cost so much to mail it here . Thanks Edmund for the reply. I guess I'm gonna have to remain jealous of you lucky guys in old England.

Rustall isn't all that amazing. Have you considered any of the alternative rust-in-a-bottle products?

Hi
not sure if they changed the name or this is a comparable product. From what I remember it does the same at least.

If possibly, you may be able to find it at a convention.? I did that, when I wanted to test some Gunze Sanyo products.
