Do not mix Ballistol with water for razors. Water is needed for firearms fired with black powder or corrosive primer ammo. Corrosive residues are soluble in water but not oil. I would still use 100% Ballistol after drying to prevent firearm rust and would use 100% Ballistol on firearms not firing corrosive ammo.
nah no squeaks in joints,.. but funny you mentioned this, as my back turned on me a few days ago,.. I guess it's time for another oily bath :DQuote:

It was originally used as a field dressing too, but when it was exported they took "for use on wounds" off the label.Quote:

I remember reading about people, particularly Vietnam veterans, spraying WD40 onto their joints and claiming the most miraculous powers for it.
There is no medical evidence for it working, but plenty of people still ease stiff joints with it, such as those suffering from arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Placebo-effect, probably.
Still, it it works for some who am I to knock it?!
