Every woodworker is aware of what humidity (and sometimes, carelessness) can do to metal surfaces in our shops. Rust and stains happen quick, and if not attended to in a timely manner they can cause serious damage to your valuable tools!
Boeshield makes amazing products to not only clean your tools and tooling, but to add a layer of protection after they're clean. That's why we put together this 3-Pc. Maintenance Pack to help you keep your shop rust-free and shiny!
Start the cleaning process by first knocking down any flaking or loose rust from the surface with a rag or light sanding. Then liberally apply Rust Free to the surface, working in sections, rather than trying to tackle the whole surface at once.Â
An abrasive pad, #0000 steel wool, or other gentle abrasive is next used to work the damaged areas to remove the surface rust and corrosion. If the damage is deep, you may need to repeat this step.Â

With your surface free of damaged areas, go ahead and wipe on a coat of T-9 Rust & Corrosion Protection to add a layer of prevention so you won't have to repeat the cleaing process as often. Even in the toughest of weather conditions, this layer will provide a sense of security.
And we haven't forgotten your tooling, either. Pitch, gum, resin and rust can all effect the look and performance of router bits, table saw blades and even your hand tools! The Blade & Bit cleaner and a little scrubbing will bring those back to life! And don't hesitate to add a squirt of T-9 to keep them clean longer. Our 3-Pc. Maintenance Pack has you covered for all eventualities!Â
