Re: Rust prevention


 

Wd40 ? Really ? To me it seems to accelerate rust. I have other chems that have been good but since using way oil, I have not gone back to them except for very short term protection.

WD-40 is a sticky wax in a light petroleum carrier. When it dries, the carrier evaporates leaving the waxy coat on the surface. So it shouldn't be necessary to keep reapplying it.

Regarding the comment, "You just need to refresh the WD-40 before it evaporates.".

That would very strongly suggest to me NOT to use something that evaporates for bare metal protection long term, or even short term.

??? There was a time that if we needed to use either on a diesel we would grab a can of WD instead of the quick start . We had a mechanic tell up it was better for the engine than the quick start . Now a days I seriously doubt ya could even get a diesel to pop on WD .

Never been a fan of wd40. Though in the 70s I would spray our entire dirt bikes with it. Helped get the bikes clean later due to the hawaiian red clay dirt. But it also caused me to constantly check all the bolts as they would prematurely come loose. But other than that, not much use for it. Well, now for cutting aluminum.

Realistically, it's outside. Essentially a barn with garage doors and a concrete floor
They do make a protective coating.
You use long term storage or over sea shipping works great?
But take to remove before the lathe can be used.?
The #4 waylube will last for 2 or 3 months in summer and winter upto 6 months before recovering.??
The upside to waylube is lathe ready to used.
