[Spridgets] Rust prevention

[Lester]

hmm.. I didn't see this show up soo here it is again..  LPS3.  It's great
stuff, thick waxy coating and things do not rust.  That said, I was told NOT
to use it inside brake cylinders as it may leach into the walls and then out
onto the rubber bits which may cause a problem.

leaked that shouldn't have, and some things floated in 16" of water and fell
over.  Everything that got wet is now out, rinsed, and drying in the beautiful
weather that followed .  I will cover everything with a rust preventative and
rebag, etc.

oxygen, not water.  How is WD40 as an oxygen barrier?  If I manage to keep
everything dry, what is the best barrier for stored parts?  Purchased parts
are often covered in something really gooey.
