This stuff.  It's wax in a solvent, think the stuff that you spray on paper to
make it Cosmoline. ;-)  it works VERY well, I use it after I sandblast or
otherwise clean metal bits that I plan to use later, some have been sitting in
Louisiana heat and humidity for 10 years without rusting.

weather that followed .  I will cover everything with a rust preventative and
rebag, etc.

oxygen, not water.  How is WD40 as an oxygen barrier?  If I manage to keep
everything dry, what is the best barrier for stored parts?  Purchased parts
are often covered in something really gooey.
