A couple of years ago, I installed gas logs in my fireplace. I borrowed a thread-cutter and tripod and ran the gas pipe myself. On advice from my friend, I bought a quart of thread-cutting oil. <br /><br />Now I have about 3/4 qt. of thread-cutting oil sitting around and don't plan to ever use it. <br /><br />Is there any use for this stuff besides threading pipe? Can I put it in an oil squirt can and use for general lubricant?
