What a mistake that was. I know less than when I started. Apparently I am doing everything wrong -or maybe not. There is a lot of conflicting info out there, and even I recognize much of it to be BS.

Can somebody simply tell me what oil they apply to a garden-fresh rust blue? Does it even matter?

The internet says old (dirty?) engine oil, Tung oil, gun oil, andit just keeps going. The unknown oil I always use ran out.
