Never Tried it but I have been using WD-40 on my lathe bed and I have not
had a problem with rust so far.

WD-40's rust prevention lasts about three days. Just ask anyone who's
ever worked in a bicycle shop where customers use it as chain lube.

You do realize that the WD 40 does not last on a chain because it gets slung
off. I use on 3 bike chains when putting the bikes up for extend periods of
time. No Rust.
