I moved to the Tampa area last August and have had to store my tools in an apartment garage while I sell/buy houses. In my haste to unpack I didn't do anything special to my TS, just cleaned it, sprayed with Slip-It and put a few light boxes on top (I NEED the room!). I was looking for stuff today and pulled the boxes down and there were some light rust patches, nothing too bad after 5 mos I guess.
I cleaned it off with what was handy and in the open, some PB Blaster and Scotchbrite pads. Came clean fine, but then I read the PB label and it said it was penetrating and leaves a film (doesn't evap like WD-40). Didn't have wax handy, so I sprayed a good coat down, covered it with wax paper and then packed the boxes back on top.
Is this a good method, or should I get some cosmoline or even vaseline instead?
Forgot to mention I'm also running a de-humidifier in there since I'm also storing clothes and I don't want them to get moldy!
