Sounded good to me. I didn't look the meaning up. I figured it meant something to do with being stringy witch my brain converted to tacky. I got the point.I have never heard of the term "astringent" used with bar oil. Doesn't seem to make sense, Hence the definition:
astringent, any of a group of substances that cause the contraction or shrinkage of tissues and that dry up secretions. Astringents are usually classified into three groups according to their mode of action: (1) those that decrease the blood supply by narrowing the small blood vessels (e.g., epinephrine and cocaine), (2) those that abstract water from the tissue (e.g., glycerol and alcohol), and (3) those that coagulate the superficial tissue layers into a crust (e.g., metallic astringents, such as calamine or alum). Used in medicine to reduce swollen mucous membranes that result from inflammations of the nasal, gastrointestinal, and urinary passages, astringents are also frequently employed to dry up excessive secretions and (in this connection they are often known as styptics) to stop bleeding.

Its cheap and really I don't think bar oil is worth worrying about.I tried SuperTech once and have it away. It seemed like nothing more than engine oil, with no tackifier agents added. Here we go again, lol
Bar oil isn't imo.. the money saved from buying cheap bar oil replaces alot of bars.Seriously?
When i mill the cheap stuff flings off the tip too much ,and the bottom of the bar wears that the load is on ,reg firewood cutting ,am sure it is fine though .I found the husky stuff the tackiest so far ,it is more expensive though .Its cheap and really I don't think bar oil is worth worrying about.
