jlpservicesinc Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 @Marc1 I used to leave my apron on the anvil and this worked pretty well for a little moisture in the air. In the trailer when it goes from cold to warmer and humid there will be a film of water on everything with a micro rain storm. It is after all basically a big metal tub.. Fluidfilm is a product here which is a lanolin spray.. The wd40 is cheap and it does work well.. I can leave the anvil for weeks to months with no rusting.. I've tried canvas in the past and eventually it absorbs the water and then will rust to the anvil as well.. I was using heavy old fashioned canvas for tents and such..

Pat Roy Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I had the rusting problem in my old shop. When I built the new shop I installed a propane heater to maintain a minimum temperature of 42ºF in fall, winter and spring. This is working for me.
