Any experience with "Sulflo"?

[DPittman]

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with a product called "Sulflo"? I acquired this bottle of stuff and have only used it once so far. I like that it is really thick and clings to surfaces. I suspect it is old and no longer available but haven't searched yet for it.

a few hundreds gallons over my working career. Very common back in the day for pipe threading. Not as common these days because it’s kind of toxic. Now we use Ridgid Nu-Clear.

Does work well for threading steel pipe, reduces thread tear out.

My bottle of stuff appears to be a thick gelatinous sort of carrier with small bits of sulfur granules in it....is that how it is supposed to be? I sort of expected a homogenous thick liquid?

supposed to be homogenous, but it does tend to settle out. Off you go to the Value Village Boutique to buy a mixer, because Cruise Director will be mighty pissed if you use the kitchen mixer. (Actually kind of handy to have a mixer in the shop for paint and cutting oil)

Just careful some metals don't like sulphur based lubes. Additionally if it gets into some of you bearings.....bad.

Ya I kind of knew that but that's a good reminder despite it saying on the bottle "for use on all tools and metal".
