Nozzle seasoning

[swrightlast]

Saw a you tube video on seasoning a nozzle with cooking oil : https://youtu.be/shSfZxK-VUk. Is there any reason why one couldn't season it like you season a cast iron skillet? Maybe put nozzles in a small cast iron skillet with enough oil to cover nozzles and put it in the oven at a set temperature for a period of time to let the oil to work into the nozzles and then cool and wipe down with paper towel and q-tip? Let me know what you guys think.

Hmmmm...I usually just put a drop of peanut oil and heat the hot end up and then let it cool down. Peanut oil has a higher flash point than veggie oil and my office smells like popcorn after doing it lol

brass is self lubricating so doubt it would be much help there but maybe for the the hardened nozzles?

I guess I don't get the point to seasoning the nozzle.
It seems to be similar to adding an oil wipe to the filament before it goes into the hotend which use to be recommended but now isn't as much. Mostly because foreign oils can negatively affect things like bed adhesion and layer adhesion.

Ummmmm, popcorn. I like that idea.

Seriously, I am running a steel nozzle at the moment and I am having way better luck with it than I was with the brass ones I used before.
It is printing very nice and consistent traces now.
Before, not so much.

Maybe I am missing a trick though.
How about seasoning them in coconut oil (don't laugh, it is tenacious and slippery stuff and also has a high flash point)?
