Day 21 UPDATE -- Rust Prevention Test v2

I have left the three remaining samples in a salt water bucket for the last several days.

EVERY ONE of them is still rust free! I have photos, but all they show is no rust. I am going to leave them in the salt water for as long as it takes.

I can say that any of these products will do an ample job of protecting your maille, and likely other mild steel armour.

When I get some time, I will do some handling tests to give even more feedback.

Day 14 Update -- Rust Prevention Test v2

The final four! I dipped each sample into a salt water bath today. Before the bath, I touched each sample to get an idea of how they felt.

I think we can call WD40 the 4th place finisher.

Break-Free CLP
Still looks great. It looks like rust might start forming. It feels a little oily.

Eezox Gun Care
Looks perfect. Feels mostly dry.

Fluid Film
Still really clean, but some places have show signs of rust. Still very oily/wet.

WD40
Some mild to moderate rust in spots. Somewhat oily... like WD40 feels after it has evaporated a bit.
