    China, the us, doesn't matter where from. The supply chain has been disrupted on many items.

    Do you turn up the flow when using Canola? I just switched to Canola due to this incessant mask wearing. Had to go grocery shopping anyway.
    But I seem to hear the chain Running around the bar a lot more with canola. Seems rather dry too. The canola seems thinner than regular bar oil so I assumed it would It would be wet.

    Yes, almost exclusively unless a costumer specifically requests a different quality brand paint.

    I was at my local HD today.

    The only bar oil I saw were quarts of Husqvarna brand, $5each.

    No gallons, of any kind.

    Glad I don't need to buy any.
