It's that time of year again here in Ohio. The temerature drops, the
satuarated air gives up it's moisture and condenses out on by steel and
cast iron machines. I have actually seen droplets of water all over the
machines. This, if left to stand, will cause rust. 

I find that small tools that are put away in drawers don't exhibit this
problem (thank God) - but the big machines do.

Is there any way that you know of to prevent this from happening. Is
there substance that can be put on the tools, or a special cover or
something? It drives me crazy!

I have tries WD-40, silicon spray and paste wax. None will protect
for more then 1 or 2 of these episodes. Would covering the tools
help - say with draping plastic?


Any help will be greatly appreciated!
