File Maintance Question
glh
>I recently purchased a few files and rasps and would like to maintain them. I use some for shaping wood and some for sharpening things such as scrapers and lawn tools. I regularly use a file card and keep my files separate in a pouch, but I'm worried about rust. I live in a humid area and rust prevention is a contineous battle. Does anyone have a recommendation?
I've thought about Boeshield T-9 or camilia oil, both of which I have. I doubt using this oil on sharpening files would matter, but I don't know about woodworking although I regularly use camilia oil on planes and chisels. I've also thought of using that paper Lie-Nielsen planes and saws come wrapped in. I can't remember the name of it, but LN sells it.
