Nigel,
Light Aero do sell Shell 22 in 500g. tins. Not cheap however, I think it was
around 20 pounds.

I used Silicon RTV from a car accessory shop for the blade root sealant.

Cheers.

Does anyone know a retail outlet in the UK for grease and sealant as
required for the Airmaster prop?

The 5 suitable grease types are listed in the Owner's Manual but I have yet
to find a retailer who stocks any of them in small quantities. Light Aero
want over =A390 for 3kg of Shell Aerogrease 22!!

With regards to the sealant (required for the blade root mod to prevent
water ingress) Andy Draper tells me that RS supply a suitable product (part
no. 494-102) but that Bostik (part no. 341-0977) is also suitable but much
cheaper. Yet again I have yet to find a retail outlet.
