I do the same as Kary. I use boiled linseed oil to wipe down a horn. My oldest dates from 1989 and so far so good. It also freezes up here in Ouisconsing.

Great idea in re Cedar Oil.  Smells better than moth balls for sure. Then again I ain’t never heard of N2O4 filled missiles getting eaten by bugs neither!

N2O4 !!!!  I must try exposing a piece of horn to nitrogen tetroxide vapors.....might be just the thing to kill of bugs.....or even a T Rex !!!!

Just finished up yesterday wiping down the horns around here with a rag damped with Raid.  Hopefully, that will keep the bugs away.
