    I'd take it to a carboot sale & try & get my money back by selling it on.

    Whats with all the horror stories of Waxoyl?

    I didn't have much luck with the proper spray gun so I used a spray bottle from an empty household cleaner. Dilute it with white spirit, as per the instructions on the can and it worked a treat. The gallon can needs to sit in a bucket of hot water for a while and I kept the spray bottle warm by blasting it occasionally with a heat gun. Once it's cooled and gone solid again it blocks the spray bottle, so just keep an eye on it.
    Its great for the inside of doors and similar.

    It's just crap compared to other available (similar or lower priced) options.

    Seems to me like it was bascially the only choice at one stage, and they just haven't moved with the times.

    Get some Bilthamber Dynax S-50 cavity wax. You can get 5 litres for £40. True, this is more expensive than Waxoyl, but not every option is.

    As CG says, carboot it to some old boy with a Morris Oxford. You may as well just spray the cavities with used engine oil - now that's cheap! (pretty decent too)

    i'm not a big fan of brushing new underseal over old either tbh. That can cause more problems.

    I would fill a bucket with boiling water and stand the tin in it just before use. Dunno if the radiator will be up to it.

    Waxoyl is muck unless its in cavities or inside door skins etc.
    Its easy to brush about though.
