Oil

[Garno]

Would this be OK to use with a sharpening stone please?

Sorry had wrong product up. Put in new one 3.15pm.

Thank you

I've read elsewhere that it would be, but the first item in its list of ingredients (so I think the greatest by volume) is "aqua" - ie water. I think the modest extra expense of buying an occasional bottle of 3-in-1 is a safer option.

Interesting - you were editing while I was replying.

Your first link was to Baby Lotion - which does contain water - and your second one was to Baby Oil - which does not.

The Baby Oil sounds a better bet than the Lotion but I still think it's a pointless economy not to buy the 3-in-1, even if you buy it at Sainsbury's where it is twice the price - what are you going to spend the saved £1.50 on?

Baby oil has always worked for me , and has the benefit of being easy on hands and non- toxic. I find the last to be important as I work in a basement shop with my developmentally challenged daughter and she often puts her hands to her mouth even after handling my sharpening stones. Also I'm sort of a cheap old pipper and baby oil is a cost effective product at a couple of Canuck-bucks a litre. Besides , my hands are kept in a state of moisturization that would be the envy of hand models the world over :mrgreen: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I use isopropyl. It doesn't clog and it wipes clean easily.
