Rust, preventing and cleaning
Ian:
Custom Chainmail has been doing some cool rust preventative tests on his maille samples... here's his latest results after 8 days of various products. All maille samples were sprayed with saltwater. Some samples are completely rusted, others lightly, some are rust free...
**spoiler alert**
The BreakFree CLP I've been trying to push on you guys forever is still rust free!

This is all from non oiled right? or do they apply the polish and then wet it?
Ian:
He starts with clean maille, then applies the rust preventative.
Then every couple days he sprays it with salt water, and the whole time the maille is left outside on his patio in Florida in the heat and humidity.
Sir Douglas:
I don't know what Tuf Glide is, but I find it interesting that Tuf Glide - Marine (which, based on the name, I assume is made specifically for use on the water) is actually more rusted than regular Tuf Glide.
