Thanks BIO
It's went 28,000+ days without oil. It can stand a few more decades. Zero plans to clean it.
This sentiment is even more true of leather slings. So many times, folks want to protect/preserve their leather slings. "protect" from what? The leather is now indoors w/o rain or weather.... and you want to add some goop to P&P leather that has survived 80 yrs. Just dumb, IMO.
Meanwhile, not all "rust" is the same. Some does need to be removed....
Rust: What to do?
