    Default Rust prevention

    In a metalwork forum thread - that I can't find now - the lathe/mill/etc guys had mentioned reservations re WD40 for rust prevention.

    There seemed there might be a difference between their bright metal surfaces and the old dark cast-iron of my bandsaw and etc where it seems to work very well.

    So ... link I came across ... not sure how 'independent' the 'research' is.

    GunTech : Gun Cleaning Clinic: Knowing the Limits of Rust Preventatives - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools - BROWNELLS

    And that Michael Merlo uses Ballistol.

    Paul.
