Dear Murf,

If you ever get a chance, try PB'Laster found at auto supply stores and
Tractor Supply, I find it does everything WD-40 was supposed to do, but
better. It penetrates and frees up stuff as good as Liquid Wrench, It really
does prevent rust pretty well (WD-40 CAUSES rust) I use PB'Laster for
drilling holes, I use it on my bandsaw blades, it keeps my vises and
finished parts from rusting, and it smells even "better?" than Marvel
Mystery oil IMHO. It keeps my roll up door from squealing, keeps the lock on
the outhouse from jamming up... handy stuff.  I call it "machine shop in a
can".

I get it in gallon jugs, and use the handy pump sprayers, one at the mill,
one at the saw... etc...

I grew up on marvel Mystery Oil, but I like the performance of the Blaster
stuff better. You can pour it into the MMO can if you want... hee hee.

YMMV.
