Keeping rust off tools
Brass_Machine:
Lanolin huh? I will have to give that a shot.
I just moved to a different house and will be setting up shop in a garage (instead of a basement). The plus sides... not a damp and moldy basement but now a non insulated garage. I moved up to the hills, so it will be cold in the winter!

Im with krv Waxoil put it on with a tissue ( toilet paper ) , and it dries to a non sticky finish that you can hardly see or feel .
raynerd:
I like the idea of waxoil - cheers krv.
I`m currently in the WD40 club - every few months I buy a large can and go crazy spraying everything and anything I see! :dremel:

I've just obtained the worlds supply of VCI paper - good stuff to wrap small tools in to prevent rust. It comes in a 1 metre wide roll. If there is sufficient interest I'll pass it on at cost (not sure what that is at the moment) if people are prepared to send a large stamped addressed envelope - I can fold it to A4.
