Any advice?

B&Q have stopped stocking it and suggested trying specialists, I would think with all the fireplaces in sheffield it must be solid somewhere easy to get to (i don't have a car).

Anyone know where best to try for this?

I needed some a couple of years ago - 'Zeebo' - they stopped making it because of the lead content, I think.

There is an alternative I found after much googling and I can't remember the damn name.

Only place I found that sold it was Williamsons Hardware in Broomhill, opposite Record Collector.....

drat, I was going to say you can get Zeebo from John Lewis :suspect:

there is a fireplace shop in hillsborough near legends pub, i think they still supply it. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the advice, I will try ringing the suggested later today, to prevent wasted journeys.

Thanks again.

Stovax (http://www.stovax.com/products.htm?cid=7&sid=22) is one brand name.

Their local stockist is:

Bramdale Ltd.
630-642 Chesterfield Road
S8 0SA

0114 258 8818

Try Replicas on South Road, Walkley. If they don't have it they will be able to get it.

I got Zeebo in Morrisons last year.
Or Kansacraft in Elsecar.

i got some from this shop but it was a few years ago now

I would avoid lead. Lead poisoning is not nice:gag:

a customer of ours bought some polish for black grates from us last year, she like you had looked everywhere (we run Kleeneze), PM me if interested

Abeydale DIY near to the car wash place on Abbeydale Road sell it - real mucky stuff

AS a youngster I had to black-lead the kitchen range every Sunday for about five years and I'm still here. Doesn't take much nous to know not to lick your fingers when they're caked in Zeebo.

Anyway these days you can wear a pair of marigolds if you're worried about it :D

is black Hammerite no good? or the Very High Temperature paint sold in car stores?

Apparently you can still get the Zeebo stuff in Hillsborough Co-op as well.
