50/50 needs to be fairly thin i would use standard thinners as this flashes off quickly,

well it definately does with thiiners as i do it that way regulary but wear mask
I mix it with a 20 % diesel, Anything oil based will dilute it,
Never tried the thinners though
I like the diesel cos it helps the waxoyl to creep a wee bit more in to the joint, I have used white spirit and petrol in the past but i find diesel works best. I mix it up and then use a parifin gun that way you can adjust the flow

once youve done it with thinners you wont do it any other way as dries quiclky so you can apply a few coats quickly,sprayed through paraffin gun

Brushing is fine - but remember that most chassis rot from the inside out. You need some way to get it inside the chassis or you're just wasting your time.

Its worth buying the pump and spray attachment, it wont break the bank and you insert the tube into the chassis and pump up the pressure and fire away. You must heat up waxoyl to make it runny, place the tin in a pail of hot water. Remove the lid to release pressure, pour into the spray cylinder and off you go. Place drip sheets on the ground because it will get everywhere.

If you haven't already bought the Waxoil - have a look at Dinitrol chassis wax. They will supply it in spray cans with an extension tube at no extra cost.

Also, through experience after setting a Moggie Minor on fire, waxoyl is flammable so ensure all welding is done before waxoyling.

how do you wash the inside of the chassi before spraying the waxoyl inside?

Make sure all the drainage holes are clear then blast through with jetwash. Do it when the weather is bit better though or it'll never dry out again.
