I'll try to conduct some sort of test in parallel with this, but what are everyone's thoughts on using bio byproduct instead of fish oil to slow rust down?
My Merc has some insidious rust developing around the bottom of my door seals and boot seal. Water seems to get in under the rubber and sit there. I haven't pulled the rubbers off yet as I'm scared about what I will find.
I have done quite a bit of rust repair on it already and, frankly, I've had enough. So I'm thinking about dousing the whole lot in fish oil and forgetting about it.
The frugal individual that I am got me wondering about glycerol though. The price is right and I have plenty of it.
Immediately these points come to mind:

Immediately these points come to mind:
- It still has residual caustic that is likely to attach good paint;
- It will also likely destroy the rubber door seals.
