[CAUT] Teflon AND verdigris?

[davidlovepianos at comcast.net]

"Ballistol is made from medical grade mineral oil, alkaline salts of oleic acid, several alcohols, Benzyl Acetate and oil from vegetable seeds. The smell comes from medicinal Anethole oil, which is derived from the Anise plant. Ballistol is biodegradable and non-toxic" 



And I always thought it smelled like whale oil.

When did Callisto quit being a paraffin oil mix? But then 
maybe anything petroleum based is ultimately a vegetable oil 
derivative, if you squint just right? Against all odds, I seem 
to have missed the memo again.
