I live in Alabama and especially this time of year we regularly hit humidity levels in the 90% area. My shop is an unfinished garage that might as well be open air with a roof so dehumidification isnt an option. I'm looking for any way to prevent rust mainly on my hand planes. I'm not looking to have pristine shiny tools but need to keep them working as good as possible. I heard a little about using paste wax and was wondering about a mixture of mineral oil and bees wax i used to finish a cutting board a while ago. Has anyone ever heard of using this on tools... it seems like it would work.
Ive also thought about storing them with some kind of desiccant in a wood or plastic box but would rather avoid the trouble if mineral oil/bees wax would do it.
