Camellia oil source/options?

[Graham Orm]

Always used WD 40 and cleaned it off up to now. Just looked Camellia oil up and it seems pricey. This is the cheapest I can find...is it the right stuff?

Does anyone know of a cheap source?

That looks like a good price especially if its 100% and not diluted with mineral oil?

If you use of the Japanese wick dispensers it will last for many, many years. If you use in a spray dilute with mineral oil.

Prevents sagging eyebrows & general ageing according to the blurb - just what I need! But whereabouts on the body do you insert the Japanese wick dispenser??? And how does this relate to woodworking???

Used to stop your tools going rusty.
Non toxic, doesn't damage wood - traditionally used by the Japanese Samurais on their swords.

And hyped up & sold at a premium for that purpose?

Absolutely no doubt LinT. That's why i've always stuck with WD40. Camellia oil doesn't stain the wood...that's the difference. I read somewhere that it doesn't work in very humid climates and WD is the only thing that does.

Pricy - apparently it's very good for the complexion and hair.

I hope you do some before and after snaps it could be just what I need.
Apparently some silly sods wipe it on to woodwork tools!
