Default WD-40 alternative for corrosion treatment?

Thus spake GregS:

What do you mean by "Whatever you do I would advise you against soaking a
board in anything for a few days, imo that would be asking for trouble!"?


I'll tell you how I would call it. I have boards made, and they wash them
with water for a short period, then they blow dry them. They set out and dry.


If it was soaked in water for a few day's, I think that would spell real
trouble. These boards didn't work anyway, so they had to be baked after the
short washings. Water might very well get sucked into the layers and take a
long time to dry unless baked. Other solvents may very well start to dissolve


stuff.

This is a *long* term project. I'll be letting the boards sit in the sun for
days at a time (inside). Any soaking they get will be followed by more than
sufficient drying times.

Thanks,
