About Oil;-
    Of course it's safe and adds a wet, lustrous appearance to the shell. But the oil I use is called "Light Rubbing Oil." I got a quart of it from an Army-Navy store about 15 years ago. It's down less than a fifth. Thas all what I know.

Cuz I also heard that sometimes it makes em sticky and more attractive to dust, although possibly this guy I was talking to used the wrong kind of oil (it was a buddy of mine, and it wouldn't surprise me if he just used cooking oil or sumthin).  Whast the opinion out there on doing this to yer collection?
