Default rigging wire

Yes, it is Ok in any application where you can grease it. But you can't
grease your rigging unless you want your sails, ropes and everything else to
get covered in it.


You would feel a lot better if you used a Mil Spec style corrosion
inhibitor. These set to a waxy finish within 24 hours.
Even a BoeShield T-6 (not sure about that number) aerosol cannister
will do a serviceable job. It's this style of inhibitor that coats
the galvanized aileron control cables in the 737 you flew in recently.....
