David,

You should be able to buy Tri-Flow, or it's competitor, Break Free
(which is my personal preference) at any sporting goods establishment.
I think I've even seen it in the sporting goods department at
WallyWorld. The two products are indistinguishable, to me at least, as
they both smell like bananas and both contain suspended PTFE
particles. To my way of thinking, the best buy is the 4-oz. squeeze
bottle, one of which tends to last me a couple of years. The aerosol
is pretty handy, though, for shooting down cable housings.
