Camphor response

Post by woodeneye »

It IS camphor...an old tool-&-die-guy trick. It usually comes in 2" square "tablets" that are available at most pharmacies. Cheap and very effective at rust prevention...with fumes that turn into a protective coating on metal tools.

Works best when used in closed drawers or cabinets.

Are the ones that SS offers made in the USA? They look identical. I wood think that they are the same units.

BTW, the ones offered by hartville tool are advertised as made in USA.
