Mineral oil by itself is ok, and it does NOT go sticky in my
experience.

It has done so on metal surfaces.



It has no place to go on metal. Wood absorbs it and becomes sealed in
the process.

Metal has voids and pits and all sorts. If it was 'flowed' with nickle
it might not. Steel / iron are there. Rust starts in these places.
