    Maybe have to strain the lin"seed" oil first

    Did it work? Could you also use it to preserve the patina on an old rat rod? Or would some type of car wax also work on the snow blower?

    I'm just curious – Did Mrs Mustie make soup in that pan for you that night?

    Otherwise, we usually spray over our implements with a mixture of diesel fuel and engine oil. It sometimes needs a quick touch up during to 'off' season, but it is fast and cheap to make up and use.

    Once heated, wrap a towel around the cup and you'll be shocked at how ling it'll remain liquid!

    lets try not to do this over the burner, proceeds to do it over the burner anyway

    I saw an actual sprayer for beeswax! apparently, beekeeps use them for making new frames for their bees. I intend to see what they cost and undercoat my vehicle with it. Someone had undercoated our Subaru Forester with a waxy substance so that made me think of doing it on my Outback. I could scrape a bit off my under carrage with my fingernails. The frame rails seemed to be coated inside with it. I also noticed it on the rear suspension, springs and struts. Someone applied it. It was not the manufacturer.

    So…did it work?

    I noticed the two or three guys who spoke about how nasty a job this is. Worth it, but really nasty, especially wire brushing the rust off the underside of a truck before spraying. And the only sure way to ensure something breaks the next week, and you get oil dripping on your head all day fixing it! Sorry, but my Dad had me under there. Can you tell? My kids refused and threatened to call CPS😜

    The comments are as good as the video!

    Normally, we experiment with things like this using a double boiler.

    TOO, if it's flammable and could land on a burner, it needs to be done where catching on fire wouldn't pose a danger to shop or house.

    NOW, if you do want to spay this mix, USE turpentine (even more flammable). The turpentine WILL dissolve the wax/plant shtuff and, if you let is sit for a day or two, you won't have to heat it to create a liquid mix. That's how I do my wax, linseed oil mix for wood turning finishes.

    My toilet ring "wax" mix for buffing plastic relies on turpentine and diatomaceous earth. The more turpentine the more liquid it gets.

    All the flames and hot burners put you near calamity. The suggestion you heat something like this until smoking is a fools errand.

    P.S. We used to use a spray gun to apply contact cement,. We used the cheapest one we could get.
