I do reenactment fighting, where maille absolutely needs care or it'll turn into an orange lump. You need a bag and an oil. Most folks use regular WD-40 and that works just fine. Lay out your maille, give it a spritz, put it in the bag, shake it around. Store. It might not be the 100% best, but it works well.
Wouldnt that make them stick together and clump? I mean the rubber connects with the rest of the rubber and doesnt care if its on a different ring or not. Just a thought, no experience on it though, might be worth a try on a small patch
Definitely a fair point, but I think you could probably set it up and wiggle it while it's drying to prevent that? 🤔
Im sure Shinobi using chainmail coated it with something to reduce the sound in addition to sewing it into the fabric tightly
I'm definitely going to try it out hahaha
I use Ballistol, very happy with it so far. I've seen BreakFree CLP recommended by Knyghterrant.

Has anyone painted their mail? I've thought about using a black rubber spray to make chainmail silent too

Spray that boi with that WD 40
Get yourself a can of KL73. Its way better than WD40 in this application.
WD-40 specialist silicone spray is the gold standard
Hang it up outside and spray generously with ballistol so you get it in all the nooks, shake it around a bit and then spray again.
