Conductor562 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Well, we haven't had much of a summer. It rains everyday and when it isn't raining, it's so humid you feel like you jumped in a pool as soon as you walk out the door. The grass grows so fast you have to mow every 3rd day to keep it looking nice.I can deal with all that, but it pisses me off when I open my box only to find my chisels covered in rust. I went through 2 weeks ago and cleaned them all up, even coated them in silicone spray to prevent this sort of thing from happening. I've got several brands, but the Western Forge made Craftsman brand rusts the quickest by far. Oddly, my impact sockets seem to be fairing pretty well, but my punches & chisels are ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'd say it's just you Travis, but here in New Hampshire it's just wet. Humid, humid, humid. But hey, that's okay. At least it's not -22 like it was a few months ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmill25 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yeah, the humidity in central PA is brutal. I decided to go to work at 530 this morn, come home early, and the noise police in the housing development be damned. I was home by two and went through 3 shirts throughout the day. It was so bad the wife even convinced me to go skinny dipping last night. Kinda fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99_XC600 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yep, it was bad today. After I mowed the lawn at 11:00AM this morning, I jumped in my daughters INTEX pool and lied there for about 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I wouldn't mind cooler temps, but nothing in the teens or 20's temp wise!!! It would be nice if winter was just in the 40's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmiller383 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 My area is really humid too and I had a lot of tools that rusted pretty much over night after the first couple humid days. After I cleaned them up I used some of the boeshield T9 spray on them and I haven't really had a problem since. I sprayed them down pretty heavily and then let the T9 dry up on them overnight. I've tried a couple other anti-corrosion sprays like Fluid film and crc something or other, both of which were okay but they left the tools really slick and hard to hold on to.

comp56 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 conductor get a fan, or seal up the shop and thru a AC unit in there and for the lawn, sprinkle some beer on the grass instead of water, then when it grows it's half cut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come live in the Florida Keys for a bit, even stainless steel rusts here. well that comment is actually funny too, cause not all stainless is good stainless slap a magnet on the side of 75% of stainless BBQ's out there and see if it sticks, Rusty Stainless steel is based on how much Chromium Trioxide or (CrO3) is included, the minimum is 16% there are tons of stainless that is below grade...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfwjr Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Conductor that sucks that you are fighting rust. I have the same problem here in the Houston area. We get the 100+ degree temps and 100% humidity. I am not a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordraw Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Move to San Jose and you can pay 600,000 for an 1100 SF house. Nice weather though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Burbank is about as far north as I made it when I was in California, lol.

Fazzman Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah the drought sucks big time,they are urging everyone to let their grass go brown. My front yard is shaded by a huge sycamore tree. Kinda helps a bit. i mowed it today for the first time in a while. Luckily we arent on metered water yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
