Yep! Crisco,...Trex, Flora White or Cookeen.
Vegetable shortening...
Many of you may be familiar with it as a bullet lube...But, that's not what I'm going to talk about.
This summer I had a broken file that I used as a knife sharpener and flint striker for the camp fire...I also had a spoon lamp (grease lamp) near by. I was using old Crisco in the lamp. I coated the file with melted Crisco from the lamp to keep it from rusting, as I just let it sit on a picnic table all summer exposed to the elements.
I picked it up today and not one lick of rust... :shocked2:
Maybe we (or just me) have been over looking the potential of Crisco?
