- I'm going to be moving soon and need to prepare my table
- saw. I'm concerned about proventing rust mainly because
- it may be sitting in storage for up to 90 days. Although
- we are moving from dry Colorado to dryer Idaho, I don't
- want to take any chances.
-
- I have been keeping the top in good condition using baby
- powder but I'm not too sure how well this will hold up.
- I thought waxing and covering with plastic might be the
- ticket but am confused on which brand to use. I remember
- reading that you should avoid waxes with silicone in them
- because this may get in the wood and affect finishing.
- All lables I've read, however, are vague at best.
-
- Can someone please give me a recommendation for a brand.
- ie turtle wax, new finish, etc. Also, If you have any
- suggestions on what I could do to protect my saw, I'ld
- appreciate it.
-
- Thanks,
- Mike Lopke
