Update.............

I tried it as a hair restorative, the first thing I found was that the application brush made my head sore although it buff up to a superb shine and I expect it will improve water repellency.

Second and more worryingly it has stuck my cap to my head with such adhesive power that I've been sleeping on my flat cap for the past two nights, and despite soaking my head in a bucket of warm water (which made feel dizzy and sick) it simply does not want to un-stick itself from my balding bonce. This scenario is ok when I'm out exercising my whippets, and ok when I'm shovelling pigeon sh*t out of the bird coop but otherwise its very annoying.

I resorted to trying White spirit which has actually worked, alas that has removed my eyebrows, so I reckon I'll try a thin smear of Mink Oil  above my eyes to encourage the regrowth of said eyebrows,..............does any one have any suggestions how to remove a pair of sunglasses which are as a consequence now firmly attached to my face   :embarrassed:

Hold your head and sunglasses about 4 inches over your hot exhaust for ten minutes that should do it.

To remove sunglasses hold face about 6 inches from hot exhaust for ten minutes. Glasses will come off.
