I would use Mold Saver. It comes in a spray can and is designed to keep molds from rusting while in storage. It has a very waxy film, but is easily washed off with most solvents. Of course one of the reasons I would choose it is because I have some on the shelf. :)
Read the full replyI'm restoring my Clausing 8520 mill and am in the process of stripping the old paint. Trying to figure a way to keep it from rusting till I re-paint, was thinking of coating it with LPS and then washing it off with solvent right before the primer. A fellow mentioned this product on another board, is it OK to put on ways etc.? Any other ideas?

Great idea, thanks. I see several brands, is one better than the others? Does it wash off clean with a light solvent like varsol?
I don't know what is better. I usually get mine from BMS Burns because they seem to have the best prices. I use #A677 as a mold saver, and I use #93234 as a solvent.
I found some made by DME that I think will do the job, thanks again!

Why not shoot it with a light coat of Rustoleum (or equivalent anti-rust) primer?
Gonna use my favorite 2 part epoxy primer and top coat when it cmes time to paint...

You could also use POR-15.
Ya, thought of that, but I have several pieces to do so some of them will be sitting a while, plus I have to finish my new sparay booth first!
Thanks, liked the "mold saver" idea and got some today...
