There are a number of recipes online for home made versions of the wax-oil
rust treatments. Basically they all consist of melting X amount of beeswax,
or toilet wax rings into X amount of Chainsaw Oil (which has it's own rust
inhibitors in the oil). They are then sprayed into the seams etc, with a
garden sprayer.
