1) What if it reverts to cube while I'm wearing it?

2) If I catch it on a nail, will it unravel the fabric of reality?

It is? In my long distant industrial chemistry days I always thought of it as a dewatering agent - the very opposite to hygroscopic.  Not really what I would describe as an antioxidant either. Sure it leaves a corrosion inhibiting film, but that's not really the same thing. And while its certainly not formulated as a high performance lubricant, it has a moderate lubrication capability.

(not at all my idea of a suitable first post. Hey Ho. Sorry)

*I mean almost. I know the words you used. Not so familiar with the context.

Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, informed new person!
