I've used this for 30 years with great results and no adverse effects. However, my formula is 8 parts naphtha to 1 part mineral oil. My feeling is that 4 to 1 might be too oily and might gum things up. I don't know for sure...just a gut feeling. With all the praises for Proteck, I too never felt that it worked any better than my formula above. Amazing, isn't it, how we techs differ in our ideas, approaches, opinions,methods etc. ? Howard S.
