Keeping rust off tools
vtsteam:
Undercoated the car and truck with FluidFilm last fall -- it's lanolin and wool, too! Smells like mostly a fancy barbecue, wet dog, plus a little maggot blended in for good measure.
Salt on roads is a big eater of vehicles around here, as you can imagine...
Arbalist:
I bought a tube of Flexbar Lano-Lube about 10 years ago but it's nearly empty now, anyone know where I can get another tube as I'm having trouble finding any in the UK.
Manxmodder:
Will this fit the bill, 100 % pure anhydrous lanolin available on ebay. There are smaller pots available from other sellers....OZ.

Yep, that's what I'm using. Seems like I paid $16 shipped for a pound. Still got most of it.

Here is my solution:

For 40 years my ML10 has lived in this wooden-cover, I made for it. This is heated by a 40W bulb running on 35V, from a transformer. This dissipates about 5W and is only on in cold weather.
The normal wipe over with light oil has kept this machine completely rust free.

Elsewhere I use FOOD-GRADE polythene boxes with hermetic lid seals. Inside these there is VPI paper, which only works in a confined space.
