Try your hand at mixing up a batch of old-timey mainspring grease! Feels about ½ - ¾ full, but it says on the can that it settles and there's a lot of air space at the top.

I'd have to box it up to know for sure, but if you're interested I can do so and find out. It's not huge so I think it would be reasonable. And we already know it's 1 lb or less.

No kidding! I didn't even want to open it, for fear of slipping and covering myself in a cloud of it.
