The smell of machine preservative oil is what does it to
me. You know, that odor that pervades the places that sell machine
tools. Makes me want to pull out my wallet. Kids can sniff glue; I
need Cosmoline or whatever it's called. I wonder if there's an aerosol
can with that smell that I can spray in my car and office?

Huummm, there probably is a pretty small market for such a product, but I
like your idea.

After all, even if the aerosol "machine smell in a can" was very expensive
compared to other "smell in a can" products, it would still be many
magnitudes cheaper than coming home with a new lathe, every time you picked
up on some of the "lathe smell." g
