I thought you were Joking CG :laughing7:
I learned something new.. Thanks :thumbsup:

Nose grease can be used to minimize scratches in optical surfaces, for example when cleaning photographic negatives. Observatory lore holds that nose grease was used to reduce stray light and reflections in transmissive telescopes before the development of vacuum antireflective coatings. The antireflective properties are due in part to the fact that the nose oil fills small cracks and scratches and forms a smooth, polished surface, and in part to the low index of refraction of the oil, which can reduce surface reflection from transmissive optics that have a high index of refraction. The same effect is sometimes used by numismatic hobbyists to alter the apparent grade of slightly worn coins.

Unusual Data (for your everyday assimilation): Nose grease... amazing stuff

Gotta Wheatie in my pouch as we speak, it will get the treatment if it doesn't clean up well. I'm just a "pool" of useless information,lol!
 

What can you use "forehead" grease for? I've got a lot more forehead than I do nose, and I left my nose grease on the grindstone.
 

A little "nose grease" on old clad really does the trick in being able to read dates on coins. No really,no thanks needed,just something the mister just showed me. A lady never shines so I don't have nose grease.:tongue3:

I was thinking about posting that the other day...........guess it means more from one without shine.:laughing7:
 

Oh, nose grease, I get it. I thought at first it was a southern term for boogers.

People like you scare me.

I wanna know what made they decide to try it.

Could be worse I guess, They could have tried Butt crack Grease
for restoring cast iron frying pans :laughing7:
 

I thought you were gonna come off with a zinger like "tip of the day....never take a long walk off a short pier"...I usually don't have nose grease so I just use spit..
 

There is some kind of diaper rash cream called Boudreaux's Butt Paste but now I'm getting waaay off topic and I wouldn't know how well it works on relics.

I've used that trick when I had a darkroom. The problem with digital photography is now I have an overage of nose grease.
