I'm with XD351, a spray can of Trefolex CTD cutting oil with the fine tube in the nozzle gets it in the right spot every time with minimal overspray. It also supposedly contains a rust inhibitor, and I've noticed that areas where I have used this and not wiped it off have not developed any surface rust even after 12 months in the sub-tropics.

I use a small brush and try to keep swarf out of the pot

Snap. I use kiddies paste brushes from a pound shop. The one with wooden handles. Usually in packs of 4 or 5. Not much on the brush as I am not trying to use it as a coolant as well - a brush wouldn't be much good for that anyway.

I find that one really well drained brush is enough for several applications. It just needs a smear. When I use it depends on how much material is being turned off.

laughSome is in a test tube that's lashed to the side of a bottle with more in. I keep the bottle lidded as it definitely absorbs air laugh or seems to to me. Probably evaporates too. Test tube could do with having a larger bore really. Main stock is in 5L can.
