Will it protect steel from rust (my fine tools)

Have no experience other than with silver but would think it is the air & elements that cause tarnish thus the cloth would keep moisture air et al from ur fine tools ???

I would imagine it would protect your tools. Great product and certainly does a nice job on silver. I have a large piece of the cloth lining silver storage drawer with another piece over silver and it keeps all large serving pieces clean and ready to use.

I'm not sure if it will or not...have not experienced that problem. I would certainly give it a try---gently wash & thoroughly dry your tools, then wrap them up in a good-sized piece of silver cloth, then store in a wood box or drawer that is not exposed to moisture. It's worth a try...it really DOES keep the tarnish off of my silver items (we have a paper mill in our area w/lots of sulfur dioxide emissions in the air---silver will tarnish overnight if left out in the room!)

Carbon steel oxidizes much easier than "stainless" (there is no true stainless, just some more resistant than others). Carbon steel has many other great properties I won't get into here, but as has been said, a little oil (food grade like mineral oil is more appropriate of you will cut food, or it is a possibility) will help prevent overt rust. A forced patina (making the blade oxidize in a more limited and controlled way) is a way to actually further prevent rust. Exposure to various light acids for limited times helps, such as cutting citrus or soaking with vinegar.

Yes, If applied correctly it will "kill" the rust, thereby stop the spreading of rust. It will NOT stop other, surrounding, areas from rusting. Only properly treated areas will have protected, rust free metal. Top coating with a quality paint is essential.

Yes it should work fine, but not is specifically for that and may rust after prolonged use.

Yes, it is. I use it to protect my cast iron woodworking tools. I treat my table saw and band saw surfaces after cleaning to prevent rust and it also makes the table surface slick. I rehab old hand planes and coat them as well. The JPW does a great job.

With the friction of the sliding pin and folding arms, the protective coating does wear off. Rust will show up.

I have not used it for that buy sure it will & then put on a bit of a protection. I use it for my motorcycle metal parts. It took away mild rust on chrome & polished metal along with water spots & road grime. It made easier to just wipe down for awhile before using it again. I do the tea pot & some other stuff like that for my wife also. I love the product

It is low carbon steel, so it will rust if you expose it to moisture. It comes with a thin coat of oil that keeps it protected fine, but if you use it you probably should oil it. (decorative: no you don't have to oil it) (Use it in some unspecified manner: yes, oil it.)

Yes. It does a great job with rust. You may have to do more the one application, but it will work. Put it on the rust, brush it a little and hose it off.

I bought it to inhibit rust, so I hope it does. Cannot fathom how it could accelerate rust since it cuts off oxygen. Has worked exceptionally well as an inhibiter so far.

Carbon steel can rust, esp. the edge. Clean and dry after use and protect blade with Sentry Tuff cloth or any good rust protectant you like.

Hi,According to WEIMAN This item WILL NOT remove rust. If used regularly it will prevent rust from forming.

If your blade is clean and rust free to begin with it will help protect it. Don't use the blade to cut food items.

I agree with the previous responder. I would be careful using something that aggressive on the finish. Have had great results with Bar Keepers helper when nothing else worked...particularly around rust.

I wouldn't use it to cover that, since rust will spread. It's to cover parts so they don't get heated up.

I think it will protect against rust (so far it has on my motorcycle exhaust pipes)- If you want to make removal easier, make sure there are no pits or corrosion on the surface you are sraying. That said, high temp and moisture can still make it hard to remove bolts in the future- have plenty of WD_40<G>..

As far as I know it doesn't prevent rust, just gets rid of it which it does very well.
