CRC corrosion inhibitor

[masraum]

Anyone use this stuff. I've heard good things about using it on tools that would rust (cast iron, etc...) in shops/garages that aren't climate controlled. That will be my primary use, some stuff that will be in the garage that can rust.

On Amazon I see a couple/few options:

CRC Aviation 3-36 Corrosion Inhibitor 10200 – 11 Wt. Oz. Corrosion Inhibitor Aerosol for Aviation Applications

CRC SP-350 Corrosion Inhibitor 03262 - 11 Oz. Aerosol, Long Term Rust Prevention Lubricant for Indoor Applications

CRC 02031 Lectra Shield Long Term Corrosion Inhibitor – 10 OZ, Long Term Corrosion Protector w/ Waxy Film Seals

Corrosion Inhibitor: Dry Lubricant Film, Medium, Medium, 10 oz Container Size, SP-400

CRC 06026 Heavy Duty Corrosion Inhibitor

CRC Stor & Lube Corrosion Inhibitor

And then not CRC, but I think also deserves a mention

BOESHIELD T-9 Rust & Corrosion Protection/Inhibitor and Waterproof Lubrication

I have used Fluid Film with good results . I spray it on aluminum transmission cases to stop corrosion . Also various steel or aluminum parts. Brake lines on cars/trucks etc it works great . It leaves behind a slight greasy/oily/waxy finish .

I buy it at Home Depot but lots of places sell it . Any similar products should work just as good .

I used the CRC Marine corrosion inhibitor on my mag case and aluminum trans housing when I rebuilt my motor yeas ago. It's been ~10 years and still looks good and has stayed in place.

I've used a product called "Corosion Block" with success on magnesuim in the past - in a spray can. The only other thing on the list I've used is Boeshield T-9. I don't consider it a serious rust inhibitor, but I use it on almost everything and always have a can of it handy. I put it on the surfaces of things like table & band saw, use it for a decent penetrant with lubricating properties for locks, faucets, miscellaneous automotive stuff, etc. I've had a can of that stuff on hand for probably thirty+ years. There is about no end of things I'll spray it on.

I don't currently have either, but that's exactly the kind of surface/protection that I'm looking for.

I do think Boeshield is a better product than CRC for tool protection.

Thanks, good to know. I remember Boeshield coming up here on the board a couple/few times before, and I remember it got pretty high praise.

I've used a few of the CRC Corrosion Inhibitors. They are excellent.

I think they are all much the same stuff but some are more gluggy than others. They all stink the same but different viscosity.

I sprayed it inside the doors of the 911 to prevent rust.

Most of these are waxes with a solvent mixed in. Pro tip is to warm them up in hot water before you use them. It softens the wax. Also, if you get a spray can that won't spray it's probably clogged with cold wax. Heat it up and it will likely work.

Lots of good info, folks, thanks!

Good thinking. It never occurred to me that was the problem, duh.

When I worked at Boeing, we used Boelube (sp?) to help drill holes.

I use fluid film in my rockers of my F150.

I think I have posted this before, but this guy had way to much time on his hands and tested 46 different products.

Interesting, thanks.
