Doug,

I have a printout of a post from "Don Martin, Fairfield, VT" where he
describes the use of bar and chain oil (chainsaw.)  Agway and
Husquarvarna seem to have similar formulas including things like:  High
adhesivenes, high oilines, High film Strength, Anti-Rust....Phosphoric
acid, oil and parrafin.

He uses a 3M Rocker Schutz gun with 50-60 psi, which can atomize the oil
for spraying inside doors, etc.

I've never been able to find these brands but I'm sure they're out there
and at about $5.00/gal this makes $en$e.
