Is it THAT much better that someone would drive around trying to find some over just reaching onto a shelf in their kitchen?

I thought all you old guys kept Flax seed oil around to stay regular

Winn Dixie has it

Same question.

Winn Dixie is 6.5 miles away.

How much better is flax seed oil that I would get in the truck and drive 13 miles instead of taking 3 steps and grabbing the squirt bottle of Canola next to my stove?

Sandblasting is a pretty abrasive process that can remove metal. I have had good luck restoring cast iron pots using my cheap-ass Harbor Freight blasting cabinet with glass beads as the blast media. Pots come out smooth as a babies ass ready for a quick wash before seasoning.

The cabinet works great for prepping gun parts for Duracoat refinishing as well. I know this has nothing to do with cast iron pots, but after all, this is a gun forum.

I once wondered if you could season a gun barrel like a frying pan, but I never had the nerve to try it.

Hmmmm,that thought never occurred to me. I guess you like to think outside the box? I imagine you could try it but would you use gun oil or flax seed oil?

I definitely wouldn't want a bunch of heavy rust, food , grease and lord know what else introduced into my blasting cabinet, but maybe that's why home duracoat-cerakote jobs look like crap.

Whatever oil fat you chose, use salt as an abrasive to scrub the pan. This will also fill the micro pores in the metal.

But that gives the firearm character! Nothing like a few rust flakes and chicken fat globs to impart that rustic look.
