I made my own rust preventer a few weeks ago.... I had to disperse some water on some sheetmetal parts which got wet in the rain on the back of the ute.

It was a large area, so I didn't want to waste my WD40. I made a mix of (roughly) 1 part new engine oil to 2 parts mid range thinner, gave it a good shake, and applied it with a spray bottle.

I suppose the mid range thinner could be substituted with anything which evaporates such as metho.

It worked well enough until I got around to welding it together... and even acted as a very good anti-spatter spray.

I'm sure home made WD40 has been on the forum before but I thought I might mention it again.

Of course it must be used in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition :oo:
