Rust "Halt"

[Goldstar31]

I dunno Dave, I think that Goldstar31 just called you a queen?  I don't think that the boyz would enjoy silk drawers too much and the camphor, man that would BURN LIKE CRAZY,,,,Whew!!

My remark was far more subtle than that. I forgot that there is a difference in humour.

It's all taken in absolute jest to be sure.    A little fun with a play on words is all. My shop does not get too much humidity but I may resort to a few camphor cakes in the tool cabinet just in case. Of course that would remind me of the MIL's house, it ALWAYS had that not so subtle 'aroma'. You get used to it after a bit though.

I found stuff a few months back called acf 50 as my shed is not heated and my mill table etc gets rusty very quick i tried all sorts of stuff to protect them, very little worked as the makers calmed but this stuff is great. It says to spray it on but i find a brush works alot better, it's expensive but if it does the job who cares. one treatment lasts at least a year they say but that's for motorbikes it will probably last allot longer out of the weather. I put some on a bit of mid steel (just machined it clean) and left it outside a few days in our lovely irish wet weather, not a spot of rust. It protects electrics too pc boards etc. It was 30 odd quid for just under a litre of it and i've covered all my bare metal tools with it and barely used 50ml of it. Very happy with it so far.

dont keep us in suspenders  what is it

ACF50  Aviation MIL-SPEC81309 Used for a few years now .No rust problems and the oil additive they sell does exactly what it says on the bottle.
I had a  spare motor cycle  engine in long term storage about 15 years with there oil additive not AC50 in and its restarted no problems as to whether it was the additive or just good luck who knows but for what it costs I lay my bikes up with this additive and have not had any problems with rusting or condensation
That's my 2p for what its worth
