Does anyone know a good rust protection ... ive got raw linseed oil now as
that should work as rust protection and darken the metal if im not totaly
off here ... but i dont realy know how to use it, if anyone could explain
this in a bit more of a detail i would be very happy ... and yes im
searching the net :P

Ive seen stuff like wax for making stuff shiny and so ... anything about
this maybe? :


I bow deeply for any answers ... have a good day .. have to get out and

I use Johnson's Paste Wax on many bare metal items to prevent rust. It needs
to be renewed periodically since the salt from your hands will get through and
cause a lttle rust. For items that don't get handled, it works pretty well.

cutting the grass and the lawnmower got too close to my new truck(its
was a 1975 Datsun pickup at the time) well a 2 inch scratch and i did
not want it to rust(it was like one month old at the time).. i took out
the paste wax and put some on the spot and left it there and a few
months later i wiped it off and the metal was crystal clear, no rust to
knock off....

I use LPS 3 for stuff that's going to sit around for awhile in
unheated areas like garden tools and trim saws, also saw tables and
lathe beds. You can order it from MSC if you don't have a hardware
store that carries it. It's cheaper than Boeshield, which also works
and is available from a lot of woodworker's supply places. Both
products leave a waxy film that prevents rust, at one time, they said
LPS 3 was good for 1 year under salt water, not sure they make that
claim anymore, though. www.lpslabs.com has more info. You have to
wipe the goop off before using the tool again. LPS 2 is what I use
for tools more frequently used, it's a thin liquid, doesn't evaporate
much, good for short-term storage. You don't have to remove it before
using the tools. You can use LPS 1 or 2 to remove LPS 3 or just use
mineral spirits.
