re: WD40 and paste wax

I am not a fan of Boshield T-9 for protecting cast iron tops and tools.  Looking at the SDS, my interpretation is that it appears to basically be Vaseline (petroleum jelly) and an oil with a bunch of solvents and an emulsifier.  It has a small amount (<6%) of sodium sulfonate which inhibits corrosion.    I much prefer paste wax for protecting against rust.  T-9 does seem to work but it takes a while to dry and I always feel like I need to wipe most of it off while it is still wet.  Perhaps it is better for when you live near the ocean?
