Everyone makes fun of and tells horror stories about WD-40, and how it “gums up” over time. I’ve used the stuff for 50 years on dozens of applications with zero problems. Go figure.
JR Me too. I use it all the time. I have gallons of the stuff. Mainly use it for cleaning & polishing. It’s just not what I’m looking for in this application. The main ingredient of Wd being naphtha, it has always made a great cleaner for shotgun barrels. I understand. You need a product with higher film strength and durability. JR

It does what it says on the tin, used extensively on off shore oil rigs here and never found anything to better it. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/MmdaOFN.jpg)
The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!

Every try Boeshield? Developed by Boeing Aircraft, it's a favorite with the old reel restoring & flyfishing crowd. https://boeshield.com/

Boeshield is ok, but, in my experience, leaves a lot to be desired as a lubricant/rust preventative.

Yes the can is old well you do not use this by the pint, I just fill a trough that is just long and wide enough to put a barrel set in after bluing then cover with it leave for an hour drain barrels then pour what is left back in the can. As they say never judge a book by the cover I downloaded this Castrol sheet from the net DWF is still in production. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/SjeNLkw.jpg)

It's not available anywhere I searched online. That tech sheet means nothing as far as availability. If Amazon doesn't list it...

JR WD-40, when used in conjunction with oil, causes the light components in the oil to evaporate along with the evaporative elements in the WD-40. What is left behind, after time, is varnish. Use either, alone, and you would never know. Use them together, and you get problems. Best, Ted

I have several gallons of CRC SP 250 Corrosion Inhibitor that is supposed to be a water displacing lubricant. It seems to be good stuff on guns and tools, and I have even used it mixed with Dexron ATF, Boiled Linseed Oil, and diesel fuel to spray my truck frame and undercarriage to prevent rust from road salt.
You have not said what you are using it for, but knowing that you are doing slow rust bluing, I would be careful if you are using it on freshly blued guns. I have noticed that the converted oxide in rust bluing is not super tightly bound to the metal for a while. Some rust preventive oils I have used to prevent after rusting seemed to actually remove a bit of the black oxide. I see it on the cloth when I wipe off the excess. So I use non-detergent motor oil for that particular application.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
