Fish Oil

[jaffaonajappa]

ok, bought some cans of Fish Oil from supacheap on the weekend - was an impulse buy when i was looking for degreaser (which they have on special btw - 6 cans for $12!!).
Now, I have been using normal oil based lubes on my bikes - crc 556, wd40, and a couple of rust prevention kind of oils/seals on the older stuff that doesnt get used lately.

Wondering if anyone has used Fish Oil before. Any dangers with it - any benefits to it over normal crc/wd40? Im not planning to use it as a real lube, ie not near cables etc....but just as a general anti-corrosion kind of cover everywhere else.

Recommended stuff? Or marketing hype?

Used it on my first car, a landrover to stop it rusting. Worked. Bit stinky.

It's deodorised - try telling your nose that. And cats love it too. Don't lube anything with it,it dries semi hard,and you'll have a hard time getting it off. I can't think of many uses on a bike apart from under steel guards etc.

Use it inside car doors, places like that, just don't block up the water drain holes (as noted it dries hard)

cheers guys. So it has a very limited use for bikes....

Recommended for an old steel frame that could do with a a full strip and paint - but I cant be arsed..... has minor surface rust starting to appear. Bikes only used once a month or so during Winter....on fine days.

Some of the mirror mounts, mirror stem bases and throttle cable hardware is prone to rusting, and may be suitable for fish oil.
