yes thats the best usage as well as a paper holding down machine.it could also be used as a oil retainer with a oil brush in it for brushing oil where you ant to brush it. or possibly cutting oil...or a aluminum lube oil...or bronzelube or...goose grease. for greasing your squeaky geese. kinda likie snake oil for squeaky snakes...or fish oil. but Im not sure your wife would like to keep baby oil in it for when the baby is squeaking.
