Thread: Blade oil?

I did a search, but didn't find much, or maybe my search parameters were off.

Anyway, I've been using Camellia seed oil but an about out. It works, but before ordering more was wondering what everyone else uses?

Thanks.

Paraffin oil.

Thanks, I'm seeing a lot of "blade" oils that are basically mineral oil. I have to wonder how well that would work?

I’ve only used paraffin oil. I put a dot on each side of the blade and spread it over the entire blade and tang with my fingers - careful not to touch the edge and cutmyself. Then I put a dot on the pivot and open and close a few times to work it into the pin area.

Even when I take a blade that’s sat a while, the oil has remained clear and comes off with a simple wipe on a towel.

Ren Wax, mineral oil, gun oi;, wd 40, Ballistrol, you name it it can be used. but i dont oil any blade unless its put up for months on end, no issue so far and Memphis is a high humidity area. the real key is dry tje blade well, i leave mine open for overnight then close and put up or reuse.

I use clippercide spray. Works great. My blades that are stored long term I use frog lube. I have used mineral oil with no issues in the past.

Just a thin coat of mineral oil.

Balistol for regular storage. The blades that get used regularly just sit in the open, so far no issues. The true rare specimens that will live unused get wrapped in VCI and placed in plastic bags with dessicant.

A thin coat of any mineral oil works.

I use the same oil, works well
