Hello Ted,

    To the best of my knowledge the rust inhibiting oils I referred to
    are, or are based on, Shell Oil products.  I believe they are called
    "Shell Ensis Fluids". There is a wide variety of formulations. 

    I was told that these products can be purchased (in the USA?) in 5 or
    45 gallon containers. Surfing around I found they were around US$75
    for the small container. I totally struck out when I tried to locate
    the stuff here in Europe. Shell Customer Service did not respond to
    my emails asking for assistance in finding a retailer. 

    I have no idea which specific Shell products, if any, the "magic
    brown stuff" that Durston uses on their rolling mills, etc is based
    on. I seem to remember Matthew Durston telling me that they tweak the
    stuff for their particular purposes but I couldn't find an email from
    him to back that up. A few of the Ensis products mention that they
    leave a tacky film once the solvent evaporates and that is certainly
    the case with the "magic brown stuff". 

Cheers, 
Trevor F.
