I second this wholeheartedly. The stuff is tenacious. I haven't seen it lately but it lasts so long I haven't had to think about chain lube in a couple of years.

DON'T abuse yourself and use Cosmoline. I had to get that appalling material off an M39 Mosin that had been put into storage in a Finnish Army arsenal in 1971 according to the hang tag. Not a speck of rust but a nightmare to remove.
