Do a search with the quotes "pine tar" here.
Come on guys..... Tar and Feathers was the original Never Seize for skin. In the short time where steel and sail coexisted coating all the rigging stays and other corrosion parts in tar was standard practice (or so they said at http://www.friendsoffallsofclyde.org/ when I was there.) If it works for undercarriage bolts as claimed in the old posts I'm going to try it as an antiseize alternative.
There's a history of this forum being years ahead with product recommendations. Fluid Film had the full approval long before it was available in our area. The "suck bucket" has now inspired a lot of cyclone shop vac precleaners.

This is suppose to be good for what ever ails you, plus mounting tires.

Bag Balm is for cracked hands.....er' veterinary use I meant to say. Don't put it on your feet it will stain everything yellowish.
If you really wanted something for what ails you, Blu-Coat. I don't know if you can even get the stuff anymore but everyone I know has saved a last can. Again though EVERYTHING it encounters will be purple or blue. I've seen nasty festering wounds that would be better off with some maggots clean up fast. You won't be suitable for slaughter for a while is the only downside.
My uncle picked up some sort of Asian foot rot no doctor could get under control while in Korea. Gave him some spray grade Copper sulfate and it cleaned up a bunch of the fungus side of whatever was going on but his feet would still get red and crack and peal. Blu-Coat ruined a bunch of socks and a set of sheets but he ended up with "like new" feet. Unfortunately he got leukemia from burn pits in Afghanistan. Had a few infections he cleaned up while on chemo with his secret weapon much to the alarm of his doctors.

you can lube a gasket or butter your toast with this shizzle.

That's the stuff but it's kinda like the old Mercury based Mercurochrome or the Golden Marlin fly bait. Names there but the ferocity isn't.

Oooh! Mercurochrome! My favourite product for fixing split ends of fingers in Winter, that won't heal! We're obviously a tougher lot down under - we can still buy the stuff, unlike in the U.S.

Thanks for the link. Won't do me any good unless I order a few tons of chemicals to make fentanyl or it won't make it through Customs.
I still remember that smell. Stuff has been off the market for 40 years+

I've got a few tubs of gasket pipe lube from an irrigation pipeline..... hadn't considered using it for tire mounting. Really dries out your skin and turned hard. Hate to have to scrub it off a rim.

I use Super Glue for fixing split fingers / thumbs ... works amazingly well ... glue the split together at the first sign of a split ... it takes away the pain and allows it to heal.
Call me crazy but I have been using the dollar store super glue.

I use the super glue trick on split skin too. Mercurochrome has been around longer than 40 years, had that Sh!t daubed on me a hundred times, and still have some here. Use as have to.

Had a little brown glass jug of New Skin in my box for 20 years (still there) that crap is awesome, burns like hell when you apply, but seals and lasts. Another thing I learned working truck fleets in the salt belt is when your dry cracked finger tips start to peel is keep hunks of emery paper everywhere and instead of chewing those scratchy hunks off, just sand them off instead making a smooth surface and not a crater that won't heal until spring, your honey will appreciate that trick as well

They say cow manure helps with cracked lips too. Keeps one from licking them. I've never tried myself .

If it's big enough around after dried could make a sombrero for the hot days.
