it is kinda cool, has WD40 in the test mix, and it doesn't seem to be
that bad.

LPS2 (not "3") is tested, seems to be the best. Who knows how a
homemade waxoyl formulation would fare, or one with lots of lanolin
in it.

I like lanolin for rust prevention, and attention David B, I found
lanolin to work well on the threads of a galvanised shackle on a
mooring set up, in preventing galling.

Very cool Alistair,

I'll have to finish reading this tonight and I might then go look for
the
mentioned US Army studies.  This weekend I'll be applying a very
experimental coat of POR 15 to the inside floor of Zeno.  Photos and
review
to follow.
