<snicker> only since about 1994 .. but somehow miraculously although I
vaguely recall hearing it mentioned, I actually don't know what it is
used for. The difference between asking actual users of a product and
googling on it can be significant at times. I'm real good at googling.
Let's see .. Google has archived 16,400 posts by me to this NG.

Better yet, where can I get some bo-shield at a resonable overall cost?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Muriatic acid removes rust ver nicely, but, unfortunately, it does not stop
there. If you are working on something like a steel measuring scale, or a
pair of caliopers with an adjusting thread, you muriatic acid may start on
the details in the metal before it is completely finished with the rust.
Evaporust looks and feels like liquid detergent, and they claim it is
harmless to the skin. Muriatic acid ain't.

T9 is not reasonably priced stuff, Wes. Try Johnson's Paste Wax,
available at Wally World for $4 and change. It'll last you a year or
three, ah reckon. I use it more for my woodworking tools (hand
planes, chisels, tablesaur top, etc.) but it works on my metalworking
tools, too.
Boeshield is only $109.99 from www.boeshield.com or $84.99 a gallon
from http://www.theruststore.com/Boeshield-T-9-Gallon-P5C4.aspx
Pass!
Oh, Boeshield Rust Free is $75/gal plus shipping if you were looking
for that. Still not reasonable.

THIS JUST IN:
Obama was in Germany last week, and 200,000 people showed up. In fact,
there were so many Germans shouting and screaming that France
surrendered just in case.

interest in your mind, which, like a sponge shall suck up your
attention and keep you from brooding over what displeases you.
