bamboo island mineral oil for rust prevention?

[skylerwebb14]

my girlfriend has some bamboo island (I believe is what its called) gel like stuff she uses on her cutting boards to stabilize them I believe is how she put it and I was reading the ingredients on the bottle and it says mineral oil stabilized with vitamin e and bees wax and carnuba wax. would that be safe to put on my carbon blades for corrosion resistance?

carnauba wax is a tiny bit acidic from what I read. How much is in the oil and will it be enough to darken your blade? No idea.
So I guess that didn't help you much.:thumbup:

it just said that it was stabilized with it it didn't give me any sort of idea about how much is in it

Mineral oil is sold at every drug store, Walmart/target/kmart for a few bucks a bottle and one bottle will last you years (sold as a laxitive in the Rx areas). Safest just to use a known product.
