                just curious, is the mustang paste any better than the LP since there is quite a big difference in their pricing..

                p.s/ don't shoot me for asking.. i know there's pictures from this experiment which G painstakingly did over a period of time but im just curious…  😶

                      seriously can't wait! guess I'll hold my fingers and wait for the outcome before getting the mustang paste. 🙂

                        I'm really curious about this as well. I'm just about out of Buffalo Butter and wanted to try something new.

                          Looking forward to the Christmas update for this thread :). This evidence-based approach is one of the many reasons why I love this place and Giles :blushes:

                            If I get a chance I'll photo and apply gunk again tomorrow and then bring the thing to and end in a month or so….

                                          I'm going to withhold judgment until the pieces get cleaned and Giles bends them a few times.  The untreated one is cracking, which doesn't bode well, and the olive oil one looks like it's starting to develop mold.

                                            None of them are mouldy, but where the various oils have left a sticky residue on the surface, all manner of stuff has stuck to it.  The Ober-Oil being the stickiest….
