It's nowhere near as hard to remove as military Cosmoline, but not fun
either. I'd be OK with using it on cutting tools and hand tools like
hammers, pliers, wrenches, etc. Certainly not on measuring tools. The
consistency is not too different from LPS3, perhaps a bit thicker.


Sort of a cross between sealing wax and paraffin? Hayseuss Crisco,
they're mighty proud of the stuff to get $45 a quart for it.


The folks that make P Blaster also make a long term storage spray.
Cant remember the name of it..but it works quite well

A heated up mixture undercoating oil and lanolin works pretty good.
When it cools the lanolin sets it up.
