Is it the right thing to do?

I have a large cutting head box that had a shell mill in that collage gave me and as it is so oily it don't rust
At risk of stating the bleedin' obvious it's moisture that causes rust. I guess anything that keeps moisture off the part is going to help?

A waft over with a spray of GT85 before you put it in the box isn`t a bad idea either Jim.
If you only have a couple of items of concern then bring them indoors but if the shed is dry and insulated ypu should have no problems.

Jim, using silicone spray on items in contact with wood recipe for bad finishes with handling one the chuck two with oiled hands and timber. Camelia oil wiped lightly on the thinner film best. For the steels sake any oil works fine in a box can help further IMHO.
Kind regards for Xmas Peter.

Couldn't agree more, I've said before I don't have silicone spray in the workshop for just this reason.
As for Camelia oil you can get it in a pump action atomising spray which would make it more economical to use as it can be quite expensive, I use it on my hand planes & more expensive steel tools.
