Are there any favorite oily things I can apply to things like lathe chucks that will keep them from rusting but not require big deal cleanup when I want to use them again?
I'm not pleased with rusty fingerprints on stuff that's been set aside for a while, nor do I want to slather them in awful greases and then have to clean it off again later before use.
there's some stuff called "beoshield" which is wax dissolved in something oily + a solvent that sounds exciting on paper, but I'm not sure if traces of it left on ways for a lathe is good or not, or how it will react with the other oils that will get splashed on there anyways.
