I’m another fan of Camellia oil and the dessicant packs. I rehab a LOT of old tools and I have no problem with rust. I wipe down a plane with Camellia oil right after the rehab and forget about it. My users get wiped down after I use them.One very inexpensive source for the dessicant packs is your local pharmacist. I have 2 that I visit regularly and they are happy to give them to me rather than throw them away. Its interesting that FWW didn’t rate Camellia oil very highly because it was one of their editors that suggested it to me at a woodworking show a couple years back.
