Nope, mayo contains vinegar and lemon juice, both highly corrosive.Jago668 wrote:Make sure to use new jars that still have mayo in them. It will keep air from getting to them and corroding them.

There was a reason I used the crazy jester smiley face thing. Even if it was safe for the ammo, I still don't want to dig through gunk like that to get my ammo.
