I use the oil for a long time as a universal Lubricants, and for impregnation. It is a clear liquid, non-solidifying, has very good creep, is mE food safe (seals grease in the kitchen), and the oiled parts can easily be cleaned again. For me Ballistol belongs in the "drug cabinet" as Vaseline or stearin "home remedies" - as the manufacturer writes - meet's quite good.
Buying incentive was the fabled (liter) price, moreover does not include shipping costs. But one gets here equal to 500 mL, but trust me: If you do not have to be stingy with the drops, is used more often and for more voluminous's applications.
For transferring and practical use you should buy a small PE-bottle designed with locking Spitztülle, there's to below 2 at the hardware store, or probably on Amazon.
