O.K. so my man cave is in the same area as the water system for my house. I have noticed that some of my components had a slight bit of rust on em. I cleaned it all off and oiled the living snot out of em but I was thinking about putting a light coat of paint on em. Has anyone else ever done this? Or has anyone else come up with good ways of keeping em rust free. It doesn't happen on the dies I use all the time but I have over 40 sets and lets face it some of them dont get used as much as I would like. so lets hear those good ideas. -Bob

i use a product called fluid film on my dies. it cleans and leaves behind a thin oily film that prhibits rust.

I also wonder if good ol' CLP would work. Cleans, lubricates, and protects, right?

i have all my guns and reloading stuff in my attic and i also have a condensation prob up there mostly in winter because its not as warm as the rest of the house . i keep the guns well cleaned and oiled and dehumidifiers in gun lockers . i also have the same prob with my dies rusting what i ended up doing was buying a lee turret for each set of pistol dies so there always set up ready to go and i keep each set stored in the small sized Folgers plastic coffee can (perfect size) there supposedly air tight and i also keep 1 of those small desiccate packs in with each set of dies .
