Yep I agree, use candlewax.
I would clean the table with turps and steelwooll with a lot of elbogrease.

Then I mix up candle wax and turps, and rub it in with a cloth. I do this
around every six months.
My table saw sits in a shed with only three walls the fourth side is open,
no door. And the table saw, bandsaw tables show no sign of rust.

I live on the east coast of Australia where the humidity is usually high
(70% to 90%).

I find that I don't have any problems from the candle wax on my work.

Just use candlewax for all those jobs. Planes, slides on drills etc.
