look for the rust remover.......

If you go this way I'd like to hear what you think of the product."

Why do I have visions of you doing a google search of "Rusty + Frog"?

Cheers!

I had alerted to the name because of what I had heard from a friend so I recalled seeing the product mentioned "Rust Removal & Prevention" where someone ask "A fine layer of rust has developed on my band saw tabletop...." The answer was Bull Frog Rust Remover and Bostik TopCote.
See the June 2004 issue of Workbench page 8. I was lucky it was the first copy I looked at and it was right inside the first few pages.... I don't always look to the web to find things but I could also see me doing that search and finding a lot of things other then what I wanted.

Thanks for your suggestions everyone. I am going to try to purchase Bull Frog Rust Remover and then apply a coat of wax. I will post my results once I have tracked down the product.

I seem to recall a similar thread in another forum that advised against using auto wax on unpainted surfaces because many of them contain water - I use Johnson's on my BS as well as on squares, rulers and other items with bare steel exposed, including the old circular saw that I found in an open shed.

FYI

My order arrived today for a 16oz bottle of Bullfrog. $11.95 + 5.00 S&H (US) from Klingspor's.

Boeshield T-9 kit (rust remover-rust preventer) seems to be working pretty well for me.

Good idea Herb gave you the only thing I do different ( I have a humidity
problem ) is after the WD-40 treatment I scrub with a medium steel wool
it gets down deep into the little grooves

There is another alternative. Try Oxisolv rust remover, followed by Boeshield Rust & corrosion protection. Both products together set me back $20. However, I live in the Seattle area and rust/corrosion is a problem. After all, after living here for more than two years your toes will web together from the humidity and moisture. :-)

Honestly, though. My Jointer, bandsaw tables, and router bit shanks have remained virtually rust free with treatment from Boeshield T-9, after cleaning with Oxisolv. I'm sold on the products, even though a bit costly. I would follow the advice of others though that a light coat of paste wax is a great idea.

My 2 cents worth.
