Johnson Paste wax works for me. Has to be renewed, but not nasty like motor
oil.

Wax works, but here you need to reapply it occasionally. I use a rag
dampened with kerosene to wipe rust-prone tools. It will even remove
light rust.

I've never seen any rust form on any tool I've coated with Boeshield
T-9. It eventually dries to a non-oily state. I use Johnson's wax for
TS, planer, etc tables.

One of the guys here posted that he kept a fan running sometimes or all the
time and that prevented rust in the workshop. I re-did the slope of the
yard and dirt against the basement around the shop area -trying to cut back
onthe moisture getting into the basement.
