oil for soaking after rust bluing?

[jaymeister99]

Any oil recommendations for soaking after doing a rust bluing? Preferably food safe.

WD 40.

Neutralize well then soak in pure tung oil, it’s food safe and will help protect the surface a little bit.

Mineral oil is food safe.

Tung oil or China wood oil is a drying oil obtained by pressing the seed from the nut of the tung tree (Vernicia fordii).
