   johnson's paste wax will protect them if you dont use them often.  The stuff also works on most other tools, like chisels, table saws etc.

   Yea, wd-40 and some sand paper and dont forget to put a bastard file on the edge. Id rather use a knife weakend some by rust as long as I can get a cutting edge .  Makesum easier to flex .

   BTW, DW mud will polish them in a little while with the action of the pan . Muds good grit .

   Hi

   Silicone can cause problems in paint called fisheyes ( Especially metal). Not sue about drywall.

   WD-40 ...

   definitely.

   my drywall tool kit always has a can of wd in it ...

   a quick squirt at the end of the day ... or when I remember ... and it'll go rust free forever ...

   for longer term storage ... like at the end of a given job ... a good squirt and a nice even wipe ...

   My taper/spackler says he never touchs his blades or hawks with water to clean them.

   He uses spackle to clean them.

   He gave me demo and I was impressed.

   Be well
