GG's


Somebody asked "What more could one ask for?" in an oilstone lubricant.


The missing qualtity is non-toxicity and freedom from clinging taste &
odor so that one might stone a kitchen knife without having to wash the
daylights out of it afterward to get that WD-40 or Marvel Mystery Oil
smell off of it.


So the idea choice is thinned mineral oil. I'm just not sure what to
thin it with.

Then again=2C perhaps I am merely depriving myself of an excuse to own
two sets of stones=2C one set for the shop and one set for the kitchen.

And=2C as an aside=2C I learned long ago that fooling around with
aerosol cans that have lost their spray head is a recipe for comic
outcomes that aren't gong to seem particularly funny when they happen.
DAMHIKT !!!
