Thanks for the tip!

I was considering an alternative to using GT85 on my chains as I don't
like aerosols.

I might give it a go. A litre should last a while!

Where do you get it? An ironmongers?

I should think so. I got mine at a tool hire shop. Make sure to go for the
Stihl semi-synthetic. I bought this before I'd seen the test results below,
luckily it's the right stuff. This motorcyclist carried out some reasonably
thorough tests: http://www.ta-deti.de/ta/chainsaw.html

Note his chain has rubber o-rings, unlike a bike chain, so some of his concerns won't apply.

cheers,
