temporary rust protection

Have not heard of Boeshield causing any problems compatability-wise. Product of Boeing Aircraft research.

My favorite is liquid floor wax. But I have not idea of how effective it is. I like it because there is no big mess and I got a gallon at a garage sale for about 50 cents.

Simple light oil should work most of the time unless the conditions are really damp or nasty.

Boeshield.

Beoshield protects Beosword, "Hrunting".

I like LPS-3 outdoors and Rustlick 631 on machine tools.

I have two gift bottles of scented bath oil with flowers in the jar. To use them up I squirted some on the log splitter to oil the beam. It spreads out well to wet the entire surface but doesn't prevent overnight rust.

LPS-2 works great

Here in the desert..its about 12% humidity in the summer..but in the foggy winter..its very very wet.

I generally use automotive paste wax. Like you..I bought a dozen cans at a yard sale and its been working fine for many years.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

Living in one of the wettest places on Earth and having done a couple of trials on rust protection this is what I find:

1) T-9 Boeshield very good but expensive 2) Mobile One 15-50W good if the protection is relatively temporary 3) I did not have very good results with paste wax alone 4) LPS-3 very good but messy and smelly

See if you can find a copy of this article:

They liked LPS 3 as a long term solution, & didn't think much of Boeshield. I don't have an online subscription, and my hardcopy is buried someplace. One of the top choices was CRC 3-26, which McMaster sells. Haven't had a chance to try it yet.

There was another article that touts Camillia Oil, but I don't recall seeing that one.

LPS-3 works well, collects dust and gives you greasy fingers. There are several similar alternatives to Rustlick 631 which is what WD-40 could have been if they hadn't stopped too soon. It dries harder, dust doesn't stick, and it feels like a thin film of soap.

The thermoelectric dehumidifier from HD kept the shop humidity below

80% and nothing rusted this summer, despite frequent 98% humidity outside. My fingerprints don't rust steel anyway, though they darken brass.

is this lps-3 just the latest version of whatever lps-2 is? there seems to be a non-spray can version, which what I'd want. I don't care for nasty mists and everything else getting coated in stuff.

LPS-2 is oily, for indoors, and LPS-3 is waxy, for outdoors. I kept an anvil outdoors for years covered with LPS-3, never a speck of rust.

LPS 1& 2 & 3 came on the market about the same time, over 45 years ago in my recollection. And while they do come in open containers, and using anything that isn't a spray is good...... there doesn't seem to be much "overspray" with any of the LPS stuff.

I'll give the #2 stuff a shot then. The canned stuff seems far more available than the squirt bottle.
