Corrosion-Resistant Paper?

Eric, I know the paper you are talking about, but I’ve only seen it wrapped around tools. The guys as Lie-Nielsen are really nice – you might just send them a message and ask where you can get some.

Something else you might consider is keeping your tools in containers with desicants (air dryers). There is one type of desicant cartridge that changes color when it’s absorbed all the moisture it can, and you just put it in the oven to dry it out and you can use it again.

Peter – I’ve sent off an email to them; thanks for the tip.

And meanwhile, I think I may have found it. There’s this stuff called VCI paper that you can buy by the roll or sheet. Sounds like this might be what I’m looking for! You can get 1000 9×9 sheets for $35, or $87 for a 200-yard roll (seems like a lot!).

Follow-up: I heard back from Lie-Nielsen (very quickly). They offer this VCI paper (VCI stands for Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) under the name Ferro-Pak. Ten sheets (12×24) for $10.00. Those are Lie-Nielsen prices alright – but it’s better than Highland Woodworking who will charge you $12 for ten sheets. I think I’d just buy it from the previous link (http://www.packagingsupplies.com), as it’s a better deal.

One last link: Daubert Cromwell (I think they make the stuff): This link takes you to a list of places that sell the paper worldwide. I even found a vendor in Malaysia!

Eric,
That paper is manufactured here in Illinois, USA. Specifically Addison, Illinois. Look them up on the web and contact them direct… it could be cheaper.

Sincerely,
Tom

You might want to check these out also. Seems like they might be better for storage than the paper.
