Ballistol here, I know you hate the smell as much as I do, but they say it is safe?

You can supposedly use it on wounds!
I'm typing looking at my Stuart Beam (that's totally in the raw) that sits near my PC, probably the Ballistol *has* lasted a year and is starting to get rust
It does get touched by all and sundry being so visible.
In the next week or so I'll use 000 or 0000 steel wool and then a scotch Brite to rub it back and give it another oiling.

Now about dust.....who the bloody hell invented dust!!!!!

Nothing wrong with the dust, it helps keep the oil in place 😉 some of the nicest paint on my 100 year old engines has been found under some oily fur 😂
