I'm going away for a month and its winter here (Well its meant to be if it ever rains) and I don't want all my cast iron to go rusty whilst I'm way.
I've oiled everything and was wondering if an old bed sheet over my mill would be a good or a bad thing. It would probably stop any condensate forming on the iron but if the sheet gets damp it will stay damp and cause problems.
My workshop is uninsulated and was wondering what everyone else does to keep their equipment free of the dreaded rust?
I have recently bought some lanolin based spray which I've read good things about that I've put on my drill stand and scrollsaw cast iron parts but was unsure whether it would ge good or not for my lathe as it is greasy rather than oily
