Thanks, Dave, Actually, the company that makes Cosmoline Rust Veto (the original product) is still at it. But they'll only sell in industrial quantities: see http://www.schafco.com/cosmoline.asp . I'm mainly looking for a can-at-a-time retailer.

I had remembered a buddy that is in to guns having a formula to make it, so just looked up...how to make it....and ended up at the URL above. I think painted rather than speayed would be better.
