Need something that I can put on an axe head to stop it rusting.
For a little project I've got on at the moment.
Not sure if this is in the right place but I'm doing it in the workshop :LOL::LOL:

I'd go with a neutral wax - lacquer or clear coat just looks wrong. That said, I have never seen a proper axe head rust unless it was left in a puddle of water.
Every chance. I reckon it's older than I am. Been knocking around the workshop for years. But I think it will look good once I've fixed it up.

Paraloid B72™ is commonly used by conservators as both a coating and an adhesive, because it has good long-term aging properties and can be easily removed if needed.
Paraloid B72™ can be purchased as pellets to be mixed with acetone, or as a pre-mixed solution which can be diluted with acetone for coating.
It can also be purchased in a tube for use as an adhesive.

See.... us metal detecting folk have our uses...... :):)
