    Default Uses for Camelia oil

    For some completely unknown reason I bought a spray bottle of Camelia oil from Carbatec ages ago and figure that I should probably find out what it's used for rather than just leaving it sitting on my desk

    Besides long term metal/tool protection, what other uses does it have (besides skin care...I'm not a geisha )?

    I use a drop or two in diamond paste when it gets a little dry on the honing block for sharpening blades.

    I thought it dried hard and left a thin film though? That's why I've not been using it on my "active" chisels, thinking that it would be a problem with the edge sharpness and leave icky remnants behind on the timber that may show up under the finish.

    Give my planes/chisels a light wipe over as a rust preventative no problems then,especially where metal is concerned.
