Coating For Mild Steel

I use Dow Corning MolyKote metal protection liquid. It's a wax in solvent that can be thinned down and sprayed. It's not a permanent coating but will prevent rust on all metals and easy clean up.
Very tenacious and will prevent corrosion for a long time of stored metal and tools, etc...IMG_20161208_104745234_HDR.jpg IMG_20161208_104810074.jpg
 
CN,
I do manganese and zinc phosphating. Running another batch over the holidays. Send it to me and I'll do it for you no cost. Just pay the shipping. PM if interested.
 
Why coat it at all? Lots of milling machine hardware is uncoated steel or iron (table, vise parts, vise jaws, parallels, etc). Just keep it oiled and put away when not in use. Otherwise, I use Van's cold bluing compound. A word about bluing, it won't prevent rust, you still have to keep it oiled.
