My pompino has been raw for 4+ months after stripping and applying a very light layer of linseed oil. Developing a nice patina but nothing that I would describe as proper rust spots. So linseed oil seems to be doing the job fine for the 4130 chromoly steel that the pompino is made of. Not sure if protection will vary according to steel make up... 531 etc
