Rene,

You shouldn't really put WD-40 on meteorites, I made that mistake once,
they will eventually (over time) start to rust, WD-40 actually contains
a lot of water. But because it also contains oils, the WD-40/Water is
trapped making matters worse!=20

Gun oil, is good, also I have found pure silicone oil is also quite good
if not better. Most oils absorb a small amount of water eventually, so
always use fresh clean stuff.

Hello,=20
I am new collector of meteorites and I have a question.
Can a lubricant such as WD-40 or breakfree be used on iron meteorite to
protect them from rust? Or will this hurt them?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
