corrosion control

WD-40 leaves very little protective coating after it dries out. Buy a gallon can of WD-40, ad a couple ounces of good quality oil to it. Shake well. Dispense with a spray bottle. The slight oil coating left behind will enhance the protective ability many times over. Learned from a machine shop where they ground cams and cranks which sometimes sat on the shelf for a long time. After adopting this method of protection, they no longer had a problem with the development of reddish-brown patina. Reggie

It had a long plastic tube and a little nozzle at the end of that, so you could reach into enclosed panels. The coating was waxy-greasy and retained some flexibility. The retailer went out of business and I didn't keep my last can so I don't know the name of the stuff. Does anybody know the name of a similar product? I've been hunting for some time.

Chris: I would go to Wurth at http://uucurl.com/x.php?p=2093. Check out their "Body Wax" (no not that kind). Might be what you are looking for. I haven't used this particular product but have used their "Rost-Off" (their version of penetrating oil) with good results.

I e-mailed them about their "Body Protection" aerosol spray product. Chris Campbell

You could try any decent machine tool shop. There are products for just this use - protecting bits when not in use. td From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com on behalf of Chris Campbell Sent: Tue 10/17/2006 10:22 AM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Cal_Boats] corrosion control r good wrote: > > > WD-40 leaves very little protective coating after it dries out.
