Best rub or spray on rust protection?
I need something to keep the rust at bay on my squares, planes and
other tools. I've heard that used motor oil on a rag works about as good as anything, but I'd rather not have to clean it off and reapply it every time I use the tool. Suggestions? Carmelio Oil? JP ******** Oiled. |
Johnson Paste wax works for me. Has to be renewed, but not nasty like motor
oil. Walt C "Jay Pique" wrote in message ... I need something to keep the rust at bay on my squares, planes and other tools.

I've never seen any rust form on any tool I've coated with Boeshield
T-9. It eventually dries to a non-oily state. I use Johnson's wax for TS, planer, etc tables. David Jay Pique wrote: I need something to keep the rust at bay on my squares, planes and other tools.

I re-did the slope of the yard and dirt against the basement around the shop area -trying to cut back onthe moisture getting into the basement. Josie |
Wax works, but here you need to reapply it occasionally. I use a rag
dampened with kerosene to wipe rust-prone tools. It will even remove light rust.

Move to Southern California, use the tools frequently.
