What kinds of problems?

Biggest problem is rust. Open a door and let in hot moist air into an
air conditioned shop, where the metal surfaces are 20 degrees cooler,
and bingo ... a red patina of rust on everything within hours.

I simply do not have rust problems in this hot, humid climate by
constantly keeping the interior shop and at the same temperature and RH
as outside.

I see. Is that opening the door to pass through, or leaving it open to
move something in/out?

As far as rust goes, you're in kinda a harsh environment aren't you?

Isn't Boeshield the answer? If not, I'd want a cool suit of some sort
to handle working in that ungodly weather.

Bowshield is a good lubricant down here but a PIA as a protectant
against rust if you want to actually spend more time cutting than wiping
the stuff off every day.

I haven't used it. Don't you wipe it on once, then wipe it off once,
every year or two?

I apply Boeshield every three to six months and strip it off maybe every other
time.

TopCote? SlipIt? Wax your Johnson, erm, I mean Johnson's Paste Wax?
This brings back many a high-spirited argument about table saw top
protection from the Wreck in the WayBack Machine. giggle
