I'm not sure what remains after drying WD40 is oil, because it doesn't look
greasy. Just dry. And doesnt leave marks on clothes like oil does.
But also protects less efficiently than pure oil.

Has anyone ever tried Penetrol?
It is a paint additive for oil based paints and it claims to be an
effective rust preventer.
I haven't tried it.

There are some rust preventative sprays that 1) adhere to surfaces 2)
displace water 3) do not become sticky over time.
Examples include LPS-2. I buy it by the gallon and put in spray bottles.

WD40 is said to be such a product.
I buy it by 5liters cans and use it also in spray bottle. Old bottle
from window cleaner is very convenient :)

WD-40 is mostly composed of a solvent that evaporates, leaving a thin layer
of oil.
I am not sure why one would want to pay for solvent, for rustproofing
purposes, so I prefer buying straight sprayable oil.

I use LPS-1. You used to be able to get it in a trigger pump spray
bottle,
For me, flood coolant itself is a rust preventative. I never had anything
rust that was sprayed with coolant.
The only minus of it as a rust preventative is that it dries.

things down - don't get any rust.

That can be really frustrating when you work so hard to keep your
machines clean and they rust up on you. I added some water to my coolant
by just pouring it into the mill one evening and didn't run the coolant
pump after and in the morning I had a light coat of rust on my vise and
table...
Sorry to hear this.,
To me, rust is a constant worry. I do a few things.
1) I keep everything that can be oiled, oiled.
2) I run a room heater to keep things well above the dew point.
I had a disaster once, where after very cold weather, my garage was freezing
cold. Then one day the temp shot

You can make yourself a de-humidifier with any old refrigeration system. A
friend used a chilled-water-dispenser to keep his dungeon dry. Worked quite
well. Let the cooling coil snow up, and turn off at intervals to let the ice
melt and drain into a drum. You don't even have to worry about
Hi Kirk;
Most small dehumidifiers only run when the humidity is above the
the Dryness Control setting. Mine runs a lot during the summer
(high humidity season) and almost never otherwise; except for
warm driving rains (through the Doors).
