I use it on climbing harness's for Navy PMS as a rust preventive, works
better than 2190 TEP. You should also know it is considered a hazardous
material by the military.

Ron, I simply add a several coats of a good Car Wax to my Iron or Steel
tops. No rust and as smooth as glass.

God Bless, Michael

Kinda Interesting:

I was unpacking my new Powermatic 54A Jointer yesterday evening and
noticed Powermatic's suggestion for table rust protection. Sprinkle
talcum powder on the table and rub it in with a blackboard eraser. They
say the fine powder fills pores in the metal and blocks moisture
intrusion. Should be done weekly.

Anyone else heard of or tried this?




Talc is hazardous because if you get a quantity of it in the air, mixed
with oxygen, it can be an explosive mixture! Just like a grain elevator.
You may remember your chem. teacher putting lycopodium powder in a
container and lighting it...well, talc can do that too! I'd also suppose
that talc in the air in large quantities, should you drop a can of it,
byt the fan in the shop for example, could affect breathing if you had
no mask on, supposing the mask would stop particles that small.

That's why it's hazardous.
