Hi Pete,
After using vegetable oil and finding my negatives giving off a rancid
smell after a while, I switched to mineral oil and like it a lot better.
It doesn't get sticky, doesn't smell and has the added benefit of
feeling great on your hands.
I've also tried waxing negatives and find that the waxed negatives
scratch much more easily than the oiled negatives, so I'll probably go
back to oiling, even though it's messier.
