drawer liners cheap .60 - .75 ea

[gungatim]

thought I'd post this in case some may find this useful. no personal experience with the liners but All Electronics has some pretty good deals on stuff, mostly electronics and surplus related. never know what they end up having and I'd never think to search for drawer liners when I am on there buying stuff...

today's ad has a sale on drawer liners. 75 cents ea or 60 cents if you buy 10 or more...

"22" x 10.5" x 0.06" thick textured black, soft-rubber foam pad. Easy to cut down to size to line your tool box. Perfect for protecting tools from scratches, rust and dents."

I've been looking for more liner, but would prefer it to have some kind of anti-rust additive in it. It says it protects from rust, but that statement seems slightly ambiguous as to whether it has something in it to protect, or just the physical presence of the liner is doing the protecting.

good deal though on liners. thanks fellow W Michigander

Wow, that would be a cool product. If it doesn't exist you could get some of those anti-rust papers and just put them underneath the rubber mat.

There is stuff out there, like this at Menards, but waiting for a sale again (preferably somewhere else, after my last disappointment there, but if I must to save I will go)

Lowes has a roll of drawer liner with "Zerust" in it.

This is the best rust inhibitor I've found and my box is in my unheated/cooled garage in humid South Carolina. Pretty much piles of these at every boot store. They may let you have a couple handfuls if you ask.

I have those too! several in every drawer, but I guess I've dealt with enough rust that I'd rather not in the future. more protection is better i figure (unless its rubbers)

Those are pretty useless in a non-sealed container. Especially if you don't de-saturate them every so often. But if it makes you fell better...

If it's a non moving tool/part (punches, table saw top, metal workbench top, etc.) I coat mine with boiled linseed oil every few years.

For tools that move (snips, adjustable wrench, etc.) I use paste wax and/or PB-50 or Boshield.

I've read that a combo of BLO and paste wax works well. Never tried it but I have done BOL followed by paste wax. Haven't really noticed a difference in durability/longevity but you need to be very careful in how long you let the paste wax sit before buffing.

FYI you can rejuvenate those silica packs, and you can make your own pretty easily too.

you just need bulk silica gel, either from the craft store for preserving flowers, or from the pet store--Tidy Cats Crystals are 100% silica gel...

You are probably right. I guess that logic could also apply to liners that have Zerust or some other coating that supposed to prevent corrosion assuming they prevent rust by off-gassing.

I recharge my silica packs in the spring by baking in the oven for a couple hours. They are plentiful and free so I guess they can't hurt by being in there.

Anyone order any of this and have an opinion on it?

Are you using 2 sheets per drawer? Does the seam cause any problems? 10.5" seems really shallow for a toolbox drawer.
