I think I ordered it from Brownells but its been a long time since I ordered it.

Perhaps the petrolatum is more of a carrier for the other chemicals. Rig has worked very well for me, both for everyday use and long term storage (10+ years). I purchased some more from Brownell's about two years ago.

Well, vaseline is a petroleum product. The interesting thing about Vaseline is that it does not burn well, where superstore/no-name brand burns really well. I'm guessing one has more petroleum in it than the other?

The real question: Does Vaseline have any properties that prevent the deterioration of metals?

Yes, it functions as a barrier that isolates metal from exposure to oxygen and moisture. That is mostly what corrosion prevention is all about.

How about fluid film, not super thick but seems to stick and stay!

Fluidfilm for me too.

Where do u purchase this was? Do you melt it and apply with a brush?

I bought mine from an online store that specializes in wood finishes. I don’t remember which one.
You apply it to wood and steel like you would wax your car. A little dab can cover a lot of steel. It seems expensive but it lasts a really long time. I’ve already covered a dozen guns (steel, wood, inside and outside the stock) and it barely shows that the pot isn’t full.
