HELP!

When I bought my TS a few months ago, I removed all the grease from
the iron surfaces as specified in the manual and put 2 coats of
Johnson wax on..

That's worked for years on all my tools when we were in Calif., but
I guess the humidity in Baja is a lot different, because the table
rusted right through the wax...

I doubt that humidity is the problem, not all that humid in Baja
anyway, about like Alta California...not even close to that of
Honolulu or Veracruz where I used to live or central Florida where I
live now. Do you live near the beach? If so, salt spray is the
culprit.

hmm... yesterday, the temp was 95 with 63% humidity... for me, that's humid...
lol

The beach is 3 miles away, so I don't think that's a factor....

Oh, it definitely _is_ a factor at that distance...I think it actually
is both and if you're in a season w/ prevailing onshore winds, it'll
make a big difference as opposed to offshore.
