Good observation. Linseed oil is a great rust inhibitor. May dry out too much on existing rust but on clean metal it is hard to beat. I have also read it is unwise to hold containers of the pure product inside dwellings. I found that pretty strange but it is suggested as a potential fire source if I rember well. some form of spontainious combustion I thought. Kind of unusual.
