Gurney,
Yves has the exact problem you were afraid I'd end up with if I oiled, huh?

Foolestroupe,
Elbow grease doesn't store well. I'd gladly pay postage if you'd ship me your leftovers..heh heh heh.
I forgot all about that set of strings. Guess that sort of doubles your investment.


Table-
I intend to try rubbing a nut on a ring. If that doesn't work, I'll either round up some ashes (not difficult to find with minimal effort) or possibly skip on to mineral spirits.

Melissa, yes. Looking good, sounding dull.
Your rings might respond to a product called Neopol and elbow grease. If you can find it.
I used it on an electric organ that was caught in the rain whilst being transported. It worked, but it was laborious. Trying to work the oil- it is an emulsified oil, I think- through the pores the water had entered by.
