easiest way to rustproof carbon steel that can withstand scraping
easiest way to rustproof carbon steel that can withstand scraping
(OP)
Hello,
I have some carbon steel straps
(length=10" xsection: .06"x1.25")
that see some friction and some humidity (indoor environment).
Ideally, I'd like a wonder paint that is very tough, completely
rustproof and can't be scraped off, but that all seems mutually
exclusive. I could even see period application of furniture wax or
similar working.
Are there any FAQs or references people can cite, so I can review the
available approaches and technologies ?
Thank you,

There are a lot of coating systems out there.
Start with Glidden.

very thoughtful recommendations.
I went to the local hardware store today, and the shopkeeper
suggested Car Wax and/or boiled linseed oil.
I mentioned it was for indoor use, but I think I'm after a "farmer's almanac" approach that people would use on their favorite handsaw- As long as it's not oily and
1) it's cheap
2) it's ok if it's periodically reapplied
thanks again for all the replies.
