The lanolin option sounds interesting.
For a followup on the WD-40. It works great as a water displacing agent (that's what the "WD" stands for, formula number 40). It works poorly as a lubricant and if left to dry on metal it attracts dust. When dies are placed in an enclosed container immersed in WD-40 there is no evaporation or dusty-grime residue. It's worked for me for years.
