It is the greatest thing since sliced bread and bottled beer for the usual
slashes and gashes we get bending wrenches on airplanes, but I'm down to the
last couple of squeezes out of this 40 year old tube of goop I've had all those
years.

I can't google either Kip or Swift. Has anybody got a lead on where they have
gone or how I might score myself a couple of tubes of the stuff?

I still use my Mom's tube of Kip. Who ever says "never use ointments on a burn" never used Kip. The faster you get it on the burn the better. Makes the pain drop 50% right away. Almost pain free the next day. We will use it for the next 10 years and then we will run out. It is amazing how the skin heals right away. Amazing product. Anyone know of a product that works as well????
