ive been fairly content with using just about any oils ive had on hand. 3in1, sewing machine, kerosene-engine oil mixes even from what i have gathered the "taboo" silicone spray.
i tend to favor the silicone as its oil free feeling when you go to use it again and even the high kerosene to oil ratio for the same reason. my stuff tends to rust from my handling and i handle a combination square like a gage block when putting it up for the night.
anyone use and or can compare what ive listed to say starretts m1 oil or is say something like a kero/motor oil solution good enough? it is a little pricey.
any other inexpensive home brews being used?
