[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 132581, member: 3426"] I found the boiled linseed oil interesting. It was many years ago I found out how well it works as a rust preventative. A fellow from South Africa (who was some sort of engineer working at sea on freighters) told me about it. His car was up on a hoist next to one of the same make/ model/year. The difference was amazing. When new, he had gone through the car applying linseed oil (combined with other things in small percentages) He even removed some fasteners that were prone to corrosion and applied his concoction. Apparently one of the advantages was that (for components like A frames) the linseed oil only hardens on the outer surface. If damaged, it will bleed slightly and tend to seal itself. It certainly seemed worth his effort. I had never heard of heating the part and then submerging it. Wish I had know that.... would have made the boat maintenance a little less aggravating. [/QUOTE]
