Jo block preservitive

AllGot a set of economy Jo blocks for xmass, in a nice wooden box with what appears to be a plastic welled liner. Anyway, each block came wrapped in the typical greasy paper. Past experience has shown that over time the greasy paper hardens and is a pain to remove. I'm planning on cleaning each block but what to put back on them? Seems one needs to wipe or spray them with some kind of preservative. The shop doesn't have any out of the ordinary rusting issues and the blocks will only see occasional use, monthly at most, probably more like several times a year.What's the accepted procedure for storage between use? I've got a can of CRC brand spray on preservative but it might be as bad to remove as the original stuff. I'm thinking just wiping them with way oil but wonder if that would be enough.What's your favorite method for Jo block storage?ThanksPaul
