A can of grease can be applied to grease any item. This protects them from rust and corrosion and also from grabbing attacks. A mind flayer can not attach its tentacles to a greased helmet, either.
The layer of grease is not permanent: each time it protects you there is a 50% chance that it will wear off.[1] On your next turn, you can apply your can of grease again to re-grease the item. Until that turn you will remain vulnerable, which can be a problem when fighting fast monsters.
If a greased piece of armor is cursed, there is only a 2/3 chance that it will protect you from grabbing or mind-sucking attacks.[2]
Cursed cans will make your fingers greasy (a towel can be used to wipe them clean). You can grease your hands (should you wish to for some reason) with a non-cursed can by choosing "-" when prompted.
Grease is also useful for containers. A greased container will protect its contents from water damage. However, the water damage has a chance to dissolve the grease, at which point you must re-grease the container if you still want the protection. Oilskin sacks are like permanently-greased sacks.
The can may be recharged; see Charging#Can of grease for more details. The can may also be used to untrap squeaky boards.
