Linseed oil of rust proofing is really medieval technology there are far superior products that will actually surface react and adhere to steel.
The oil basically coats and solidified in the surface which is why the thicker boiled stuff is better.
It's perfect for my heavy vintage record bench vice but I wouldn't use on thin tensile steel. But that said some protection is better then none.
Dinitrol products are excellent.
