Waxoyl is a rust protectant that you brush on the metal to keep it from
oxidizing. I copied this recipe for it, I think it came from the Spridget
list.
------------------------------------------
Here is a recipe for home made "Waxoyl". It's an old fashioned rust
treatment / undercoating:
2 1/2 quarts turpentine
12 oz. beeswax / candle wax
1 quart light machine oil
With a cheese shredder, cut the wax into the turpentine, stir until the wax
has dissolved, (takes a long time; you can use very low heat (a warm room)
to aid but be careful) and thin with the machine oil to a brushable /
sprayable consistency. Apply liberally. You can use a hand spray bottle to
get into closed-off sections if you have a small access hole.
Please be sensible when you make this stuff; don't go breathing the fumes or
applying heat and burning down your house. If you have any doubts about it,
err on the side of caution and just buy a commercially available product.
