Fun video. Just subscribed. Did not know about fluid film, will have to try. I have had good luck with Boeshield T-9 on hand tools and paste wax on certain tools/surfaces. The T-9 lasts a good while and doesn’t get too slick in the hand or gather dirt/dust.
I have settled on a turpentine/linseed oil mix that I can make myself to coat old metal tools. I suspect it is most like the shellac option. Could you do a New Britain tools video one day, please. The first tools I began buying myself were NB purchased from a Napa in the late 1970s. Sparta was the screwdriver option at least that is what I purchased. Funny video too.
I experimented with BLO on metal. I found if I didn't wipe most of it off, it would leave a sticky residue. I'll have to look into blending it, I bet that helps. New Britain is on the list. Not sure when I'll get to them, but I will.
Very interesting topic. I want to buy Maxfilm which I understand it is used to protect tools but it is not availablenin Mexico. I use Ballistol and the smell is nice compared to the Fluid film that I also use. My preference is Ballistol. Saludos.
The metal preservative Frog Lube is popular with the firearm crowd but the stuff is expensive and somewhat involved to apply. For my money I just spritz stuff with WD-40 regularly. That's cheap and easy for me to do. But it doesn't hold up the best. I kinda tend to wipe the excess off a lot too. I know it isn't ideal. It's better than nothing though.
@1pcfred Grandpa had a lever action that he lubed with WD-40, after he passed, the action was completely seized up on it. I think after not being re-applied for a long time, the WD-40 evaporated and left some kind of sticky residue behind.
@@ballinator WD-40 definitely leaves some kind of a residue behind. WD-40 is also not a lubricant either. I've read some horror stories about people destroying fishing reels using WD-40 on them. It was made as some kind of a protective coating for parts storage. A kind of cosmoline lite. But I do find the aroma intoxicating.
@@ballinator I've heard that WD-40 can be used for anything from cutting oil to fish attractant, but from my experience, where it really shines is when used for its original purpose for displacing water. If you have piece of sheet steel that has or will become wet, then applying WD-40 either before or after being exposed will prevent rusting. It seems to get between the water and the metal and stops the rust from forming. It will have a temporary benefit but it works very well to keep the rust away until the part can dry and other longer-lasting methods can be used.

not what i expected from the debate but its, hilarious
Thanks!
After 16 years of guessing I now know that my old ACME anvil was coated in shellac. Thanks for the lore and tips. And humor.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks. Father in-law swore by Johnson’s Paste Wax.
You're welcome. Yeah, I'm holding on to my can of Johnson's as long as I can. Can't get it any more.
I insulated, dry walled, and air conditioned my machine shop in my 2-car garage. It's game changing, and really not that much money.
You do pose a great debate here. My grandparents used shellac on everything. Though I've never used it, and always wanted to try it.

Thanks! I'll have to check out that T-9.
Excellent voice work.
Thank you, sir.
The concepts presented were just too fantastic though. There is no working together!
I’m a beautiful shellac guy

After watching this video I'm a little concerned for you when you're alone by yourself 😅
LOL!
Well done !!
Thanks!
I FREAKIN' LOVE IT!!!!
Thanks, man!
AI is easily available and you still chose to put effort in your art. Thanks
You're welcome. Thanks! I don't have a problem using AI to help with the visuals, but I do all the voices on this channel myself.

@octaviofigueroafigueroa9794 I'll have to check out Maxfilm. I like Ballistol and have used it, but the smell of it does not agree with me.

Thanks for sharing and I liked the voices and the debate. Looking forward to your next video. 👍👍🪛🪛🔧🔧🙂🙂
You're welcome. There'll be a couple new voice in the next video too.
The only thing i don't like about Fluid film is the horrible smell.
Yeah, it's odoriferous for sure. I don't think it smells too bad, to me Ballistol smells way worse.
no idea how you got Kamala and Trump to agree to voice this, but good work!
oh no wait, it's maybe an ai deepfake!
