What is the best polish/rust protector/finish
gerald replied to John Martin's topic in Finishes for Metal
I use vegetable oil. It's best to not use peanut oil on food items because peanut allergies are common. It doesn't take much to make some folks pretty sick. -
Noil (I had to look it up)

Fowl right out in the chicken house.

One word of warning to those who use plastic buckets for slack tubs: It's not just the hot iron that you put down inside the bucket that can burn your plastic, watch those hot slugs that come off the hardy and skitter across the floor and stop up against something that is waiting to be burned (plastic bucket).

I'd say that since you were outdoors when you were forging, that a single galvanized nail would'nt have given you the level of exposure for a "zinc headache".

I use an aluminum beer keg with the top cut out. It sits on a couple of wooden slats to keep it off the concrete. Aluminum reacts with concrete and holes will eventually develop in the tub if left in contact with the floor. My "traveling" slack tub is a wooden nail keg. It works/looks OK but the downside is that I have to keep water in it all the time to keep the staves from leaking.
