Current Projects chat and miscellany

Prevention rather than proofing, but yeah. Had read about it a few places, including it being mentioned in a thread on here somewhere. Car engine oil slathered all over the frame with a rag then leave it in the sun a couple weeks, reapplying every so often so it can work it's way into the pores of the steel. I'm not too convinced that it's the sun that does this, rather than the time left but I've put it somewhere sunny in case.
