RE: Storing Parts

Listers.

About seven years ago, I went through all of my spare parts and sprayed/dipped
everything with WD40 and wrapped them in wax paper/plastic bags and put them in
boxes.  About two years ago, I needed some parts, and found that some of them
had rusted. Even thought WD40 is supposed to be water displacing, I don't think
there is enough of a protective layer left when the material evaporates.  So, my
results weren't as good as I had hoped.
