[Milsurplus] BA rust in a coastal environment?

[Mike Hanz]

Two suggestions - dehumidify or A/C the storage space, and get a gallon 
of LPS-3 to use on any surfaces you want to protect.  The machining guys 
use it on the unpainted part of anvils they have to leave outside all 
the time, and I use it on the machined surfaces of machine tools in my 
garage.  Leaves a waxy film, though.

There are some other products out there that are probably just as good, 
like Boeshield (http://www.boeshield.com/).
