Any experience with Birchwood Casey RIG?

[gdubya]

Looking for info on long term use of Birchwood Casey RIG to protect from rust etc. what was your experience with RIG or other products meant to preserve/protect and longer term storage? Underground store age experience

Sounds like you need a recipe for cheap DIY cosmoline. Linseed oil, mineral spirits and gulf wax or toilet wax rings. It’s an outside job for sure but if you’re talking about underground, this and the right containers will outlive you.
FYI: the mixture also acts as a great wood preservative that will rival Thompson’s Waterseal.

RIG stands for Rust Inhibiting Grease ... and as a Grease it works well to inhibit rust . Coat the metal surfaces and they will be protected . I would prefer RIG to any homemade DIY cosmoline .
I have no experience with under ground storage or cosmoline .
But above ground , long term ... RIG works well ... simply follow the directions .
I would say RIG is one of the better grease products .

The company that makes Kroil also makes a preservative in an aerosol can. It is wax based.
