I have been looking for something like this for a long time. I am anxious to see how it works over a long period of time.
T-9 is easy to apply and easy to remove when I resume wood working in the spring. It is used mostly on my wood working tools, such as table saw, jointer, and anything made of cast iron. I have been using T-9 for several years now, and it always does what I hoped it would do: prevent rust on my tools during winter. My workshop is in my garage, so condensation is always a problem during winter. I have told friends about it and they are using it also. After using T-9, I have never had any problem with rust.
Great for lubing smaller bike parts and keeping steel frames from rusting - this stuff is Sold by Bike Friday in Oregan for their folding bikes - it is usually not in bike shops - but it is GREAT on smaller bike parts (shifters cables and inside the frame)
I bought 2 cans, and they both stopped spraying when the cans were still 1/2 - 3/4 full.Boeshield replaced the products, and all was OK.until about a year & a half later.I just tried using the replacement cans on my snowblower, before storing it away for the season. The squeeze bottles are probably OK, but I WOULD NOT trust the spray cans to last more than a month or two. This is the same problem shown by the earlier cans (different lot#).Until proven otherwise, Boeshield seems to have a major quality problem with their 12 oz spray cans.The product itself is great at preventing rust. I first tried Boeshield T9 in the 12 oz spray cans back in 2006. When I first received them in 2006, they worked just fine. Buyer beware. Now, however, NO PRESSURE.
Some hidden areas of the table saw that had not been given the same treatment were coated with a layer of rust that would have been disastrous had it been on the working surface. Based upon advice from Delta, I sprayed a thin coat of this on my table saw and jointer surfaces then rubbed it in. I needed to place a table saw and jointer in storage while doing a two year overseas tour of duty. Repeated once more then sprayed on a heavy coat and let it sit.After returning from overseas and getting the tools out of storage I found that the material was still tacky and had collected quite a bit of dust. Fifteen minutes with a scotch-brite pad and some mineral spirits removed all the T-9 and revealed two perfectly preserved tool surfaces.Considering these tools were stored in coastal New England with no climate control, I was extraordinarily impressed.
