One use I have is all of the pivot, sliding and linkage points on my tractor and implements. The eyeballs on the ends of the 3 point arms for instance of my 10 year old tractor look like new. Seems to stay put, not wash off and doesn't collect dirt as much . So anyone else use the sticky stuff for other things ?
I've used it to soften leather boots before. Works pretty well, but I use conditioner most of the time.
I use it on my bicycle chains, both road and long distance touring bicycles. Works great for that. No amount of rain will wash it off. When applied properly, wiping the excess from the exterior surfaces of the chain, only leaving oil in the bearing points, it does not collect road grime.
I use it as cutting fluid when drilling holes in steel. It stays around the drill bit better than the expensive cutting fluid that the local farm store sells. Charles
I use the cheap stuff on all kinds of roller chains hangs on better than plain oil and at $6 a gallon doesn't cost that much.
Yep - salt in NH is great for driving but hell on frames - already had the frame of my Tacoma replaced (covered by Toyota). I need to come up with a way to spray the oil - I literally jack the truck and paint all the exposed areas I can get to with a brush - PITA, but I'm too cheap to pay for a professional job! Cheers!
Have you tried putting the oil in a pump garden sprayer? Seems it should work. You could probably even put paint in it as well.
I've cut rust prevention oils including cosmoline with a little mineral spirits to allow capillary action to draw it in. Once it evaporates walla .
It's also excellent for trailer ball hitches and for lubing bushings and sliding parts on snowblowers.
I punctured a gallon by accident with my hookaroon , it undercoated my bumper and kept the tailgaters away because their wipers couldn't clean their windshield .
