Retired Bob Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I guess you will be busy with your tracks tomorrow then, When I ordered my stuff there was an automatic email confirming they had received my order and a delivery date for today but there were 3 days before they sent an email that the parcel was on it's way, and the tracking system has not worked at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about getting tracks done today but can at least press on, thought I'd order 3 bottles of the stuff should 🤞do 6 sets of tracks following Steve's @M3talpig recommendation of mixing 50/50 with water. With the uncertainty surrounding deliveries from abroad come Jan though best to stock up, who needs international trade agreements when sat atop a pile of burnishing fluid! Not sure who you ordered from but the postage from these guys is very reasonable and order enough, as I did, and its free! (Taken just over a week to arrive btw). I've another package on route too awash with Tamiya airbrush cleaner😉😀 and the mantlet I'm so easily pleased! 😁 Thanks Dan @Dads203 for the link to super hobby ! Hope your stuff arrives soon, I've noticed some companies send notifications of postage as soon as you've paid 11pm Sat night..... 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diases Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I was in access models, newark today, and they have AK burnishing fluid x3 on display. They do mail order if you need quickly. Paul 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about stocking up on supplies before January, I imagine things could go either way, but it's best to be safe. Still hasn't arrived today, glad I went with the magic tracks. 3 minutes ago, diases said: Sorry. Didn't know there was two types, so didn't check I thought I had ordered AK track burnishing fluid but it was AK photo-etch burnishing fluid, it only works on brass items. Not to worry, it will be useful for brass barrels and muzzle brakes as well as p/e items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm even considering going through all paints, materials etc and ordering in anything I might need in the forseeable just in case of "issues"! Depending who you listen too its either going to continue as we are or.... I suspect, perhaps with time, we should still be able to access / purchase all or most of the stuff we do now, commerce will find a way! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that in time it will probably return to normal or we will adapt, depending on whether an agreement with the EU happens, if not it could be like ordering from China. Best not to run out of anything in January. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
