Ah yes there's "colour case hardenening" where you need to pack the part in your bone meal/leather etc (presumably tallow is for this too) and then heat the whole, before dumping it into the oil-on-water.. but it is easier with commercial compounds, from what I'm reading, as you don't heat the compound, only the part (but this doesn't look so cool because the part comes out dull).
It might make for less damage to shafts if/when a key is broken.. and I guess if it doesn't distort your bearing cups then it should be fine with shafts too.
Wow the more I read the more complicated this sounds.. still thinking I could get it done inexpensively though.
