Just be prepared for some strange looks when you purchase a gallon of
mineral oil all at once. :-O

Is motor oil a conductor?

I had a cantenna for 20 years with light mineral oil. *there was a little
seepage to the top of the lid through the vent. *I actually had transformer
oil but never used it because of the thought of that stuff seeping. *It

One mistake I made with a cantenna was letting it sit on a concrete
floor. The bottom of the can rusted through from the outside. The
replacement can got a good coating of zinc chromate primer, followed
wirh red oxide, then acrylic enamel auto paint.

Mine was always inside and never rusted. I have seen them rust outside
though. I put mine in a tray, worrying about seepage getting on the carpet
but it would only pool up on the top.

Might be worthwhile to shoot the new can with BBQ paint.
