LPS-2 is a great rust preventative, because it is light oil, sprays
nicely, and does not dry or harden over time. It also creeps and
penetrates well, so if, say, I spray it on top of a pile of metal
things, it will get to all the pieces in time.

The only minus of it is that it is expensive.

Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative that can be sprayed and does
not dry out.

Thanks

You might be interested in a trial I did:

It is nothing original or definitive, I just wanted to know how things
behaved in my hands. Also I did not consider prices but these are easy to
find out.

In a nutshell: Nothing beat LPS3.

I was puzzled about the behaviour of WD40.

I'm not puzzled about WD40. Despite what folks say, it's good for one
thing, displacing water, that's what it was designed for.

They should fly banners behind airplanes announcing that fact. It would save
a lot of mistreated machinery.

I'd like to know what happened to WD-39...
