[TheForge] Rust inhibitor

I don't know about the rust, but it would stink to high heaven.

So I'm watching a show on the Science Channel on recreating the oak 
cranes likely used to lift the stones for Gothic cathedrals, and a 
French blacksmith and medieval machinery expert claimed that he can seal 
his forgings from rust by rubbing them with a cow horn. He rubbed 
relatively lightly on the still-hot iron. The cow was not still 
attached. Has anybody tried this one?
