Not sure if this should be here or in Equipment so please move if required. I just pulled a mould out of storage and was aghast to find it rusty! It was given to me a couple of years ago and I just put it away as is. I know, BAD TOADY! 20 lashes with a wet noodle! It's an Ideal 245496 single cavity. Mostly rusty on the outside but there are 2 spots inside the cavity as well. One is on the shank and the other is on 1 half of the nose. I'm thinking a brass wire wheel on the outside surfaces but what should I use to clean out the cavity? Will regular gun oil work to protect it after it's cleaned up? Of course I will de-grease it again before use! Should I be oiling it after each use once I start using it regularly, or can I store it with some absorbant media (sillica etc) in a container of some sort?
Any advice greatly apopreciated!
