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?

Johnson Paste wax works for me. Has to be renewed, but not nasty like motor
oil.

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.

One of the guys here posted that he kept a fan running sometimes or all the
time and that prevented rust in the workshop. 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.

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.
