    I need information about longterm (3-5 years) storage of jewelry
    studio equipment. The equipment, etc. will be stored in a
    self-storage unit that presumable will be as dry as New England
    weather will permit. It will not be climate-controlled. 

    I would assume that any steel and or metal equipment/tools/machinery
    will need to be well-greased and sealed in heavy-duty, sealable
    plastic bags. Any studio equipment that is not made of metal would
    still need to be bagged to prevent water vapour damage. These
    protective measures would need to be in place for the duration of
    storage. I writing to ask if those measures are sufficient. I would
    welcome any recommmendations about the type of grease that should be 
    used to protect tools, etc. from rusting?
