Hi Jonathan:
I did a search for D96 Gun Oil on the internet. I contacted the
supplier of this product and he says they will not ship small amounts
to Canada.
He referred me to some Canadian Dealers but they did not reply to my e-
mails. Perhaps they don't stock the stuff anymore.

Greetings,
Here is a thread that WD40 was talked about in the past. You can use
this date to go back and view all the comments. Apparently there was a
prior thread on the same subject even further back.

Hello Jason, and all,
I certainly agree with you when it comes to Dronino and Nantan, I have
heard them called temporary meteorites and that does fit quite well.
However I have right here a slice of Brenham about a foot across, it came
from an old collection
One thing you will want to stay away from is lacquer. Some dealers in the past
didn't know any better and used to coat meteorites with lacquer, especially
rusters. This doesn't allow the meteorite to breath and traps moisture inside
the piece, accelerating the oxidation process. A few also
Hi everyone,
I've had great luck with the Campos from Bob Cucchiara (meteorite
madness on eBay). I hand them out all the time to students. The only
preservation I use is a spray for guns called Barricade available at
Gander Mt. outdoors stores. It works well. I also still have an intact
Nantan
Ed,
I will sometimes use WD40 on previously treated/preserved irons, as a
twice-a-year
cleaner/sealer as a rub-down with a clean towel. But, I always heat my
specimens
to ~ 400 F for ~ 20 minutes, prior to every application (let them cool
first... ouch...).
I have noticed two things when
Hi Ed,
If you would prefer to not use oil or other materials on your meteorites
another way to prevent rust is to store in a dry container. In BC you
probably have high humidity like in the San Francisco area and I find
storage with desiccant and a vapor proof container to be sufficient for
I have a Nantan and it is perfect, end cut with an etched face. It was cut at
least 4 years ago. Just depends on the piece and definitely how it was prepared
(if cut).

Hi Ed and Listees!
We had this discussion at the biggest German Met-Forum
(Meteorite-Mineral-Gold-Forum)some time ago. One of our members has created
a list of Roster-Levels which uses the knowledge and experience of all
members so far.

Hi Ed and all,
This has been discussed before and I believe the consensus was that WD40 can
have moisture in it that will promote rust. It depends on the batch but
there is varying degrees of water contained in this lubricant. It might not
be so good for Nantans but more stable irons like

I wouldn't use WD40 on any mets, as it contains water and smells. Like Al
mentioned, a good low viscosity gun oil like Remington Rem-Oil wipes work well
without any aroma. As an added bonus the application wipes clean mets while
lubricating them.
Also, as Matt mentioned, there are problem
The formula for WD40 is secret. however...

add water to a product which displaces water?

I've treated all my metallic meteorites with Rig. It is a rust

have shown any evidence for rust. I've had them for about 4 yearsnot a
