Clear (of flies) prop

Somebody suggested something the other day to me, which I think falls into the category of "somebody once heard of somebody else doing this".

Anyhow, the idea is that you spray your prop (and presumably leading edges, spats, etc) with the very fine cooking oil - one-cal is the brand name in my kitchen cupboard - after you've cleaned them. The idea is that this then tends to stop dead flies sticking too hard and makes them easy to clean off next time.

Whilst I'm sure this won't do any damage, has anybody tried it - and does it do any good?
