thanks
trent tye from purgatory forge mentioned using it to treat wood, leather and steel.
as a rust inhibitor.

Mesophilic:
Took me a bit to find it but this topic remonded me of a video on 18th century fat-wax.  I'd guess the linseed oil would smell better than raccoon fat and the turpentine would make it smoother in applying.

Add the H to the beginning.

I use all 3, just not together, sounds like an interesting mixture, may give that a try. ;)

I used to wipe down my bows with turpentine after final sanding then hand rub in linseed oil then wait a few days before adding Tru-Oil. Haven't done it in the last few years. I do use bear fat, bees wax and turpentine or pine pitch for leather treatment sometimes.
