Rust issue in shop

[BoydAllen]

Another vote for CorossionX. Six or seven years ago I bought a used floor model drill press, cleaned off all of the rust, including the main column, and treated with Corrosion X. Since then it has sat in the corner of my garage next to the door, with no rust. Our winters can be damp and the garage door is opened during rain storms. I sprayed the parts, let them set for a bit, and then wiped off the excess with a paper towel that I had sprayed a little on. All surfaces are dry to touch.

I have a 7 liter dehumidifier in my workshop and have a hose running outside. I have it set at 50%. I am connected to a conditioned room, no actual heat or a/c available.

I thought Climate change would have corrected this problem since 2020 !

My shop in Florida is unheated and no ac, I keep everything covered in clear plastic bags with Zerust capsules stuck on the each piece of equipment.
Seems to help quite a bit.

Zerust also sell VCI plastic bags that I use as dust covers in my press. VCI = Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor. Inexpensive rust insurance. Here is a link to their products.
