Hello,
I am making a plane wick to butter up the soles during use. Besides butter (heh) what makes the best lubricant SPECIFICALLY for a plane wick, ie., it wont dry out. I have heard of some using mineral oil (baby oil) and some using liquid parafin. Does liquid parafin dry out? Does it contain any solvents or other nasty finish-wrecking stuff? It seems like it would be the best choice all else being equal for its rust preventing properties. Experience? Ideas? Random thoughts?
