Hi all:

    I just had a thought: what about renaissance wax?? They use it in
    museums to protect metal blades and armour.... In its 'set' state,
    it's a thin film that's almost undetectable. Yeah, sure it'll rub off
    as the tool is used, but so what? Just re-wax it after using. If it's
    a tool that gets used enough for that to be an issue, rust shouldn't
    be. 

    I mention Ren Wax because most jewelers already have it sitting
    around, and if not, all the suppliers carry it, so it's not hard to
    find. 

For whatever that's worth.
Brian
