Thread: Actual Testing OMG - Alcohol and Razors

Glen, do you suggest WD-40 for storage? I'm under the impression that it's thin enough that it dries out over time, and isn't the best thing to prevent rust on guns. I have no experience with it on razors.

Mineral oil sold for laxative use in pharmacies is also dirt cheap and protects metal surfaces for long-term storage. Don't use Cosmoline

Just google it, there have been many tests done with tons of new gun products, the one thing that always stood out to me over the last 30 years is that plain old WD-40 is never #1 but always in the top 5 for rust prevention,, That is more telling then the latest wonder oil

Long term storage is relative also, I take even my Collectables out once per year and clean and wipe them..

I would probably use a different option for muti-year storage
