So, since I am living in a country with lots of anow and salt, rust has always been an issue for me. I started researching how to rustproof the bolts, because there is nothing worse than a rust-welded grade 10.9 bolt that had its head snapped lol.
All steel bolt rust proofing methods I've seen are based on creating a layer between the steel and oxygen. But the way the layer is made varies wildly:
For example there is a technique that is called "Oil Burn" where you get the bolt red hot and dip it into motor oil. There are various issues with this technique, which I will explain in a later post.
With your suggestions I will make a spreadsheet with various pros and cons listed and will share with the community.
As to prove I am serious about this, here are my current experiments: Before:

Images look blocky on my phone while using liftoff, I am unsure if everyone else is experiencing something similar
Many hold strong beliefs and opinions, however not many know the roots of their belief. If a person agrees to explore it, both of you will learn something new and fascinating. The problem is finding someone who wants to think and ask the questions. This goes for both. Many want to "convince" someone, but how much do you truly know about the thing you're trying to prove?
This also comes back to the "why?" game so many kids play. Parents get annoyed by it, but are they really annoyed at the game or their lack of knowledge depth? Play the game, find out how deep you lake of knowledge goes
