Wet-sanding tines without Kerosene, then oiling them

[absent]

Hi.

Is there any reason I shouldn't wet sand the tines with water instead of kerosene?
It's working great. We didn't want to handle the kerosene suggested in other posts.

I am considering *very lightly* gun-oiling the tines and tone bars (or JUST the tone bars, as even a little oil could degrade the damper felts). This would be done with miniscule amounts of oil and a swab after reinstalling and wiping down the tines and bars. Any comments or suggestions?
I feel that this could insure a bit against corrosion, esp. after handling them during the reconditioning process.
Incidentally, the forks/tines seem to vibrate *much* more regularly  and evenly after removal of scale/surface corrosion.; Also, the new grommets I installed are making a HUGE difference, even though the piano has not been dialed in yet.

Thanks,
