I know I am probably going to get bashed for asking this, but I live in Oregon and have a lot of moisture problems in my shop. I wax my table saw, but still have trouble with surface rust. I looked at the empire product and will probably try that. Then I got to thinking, why exactly can I not paint the surface of my table saw, with say rust-oleum. If I sand with 600 grit between coats it would be very smooth, and I could wax on top of that, to make sure the wood slides easily. I would never have to worry about rust again. No one does this, so I am guessing there must be a reason why. I just can't think of what it is.
Thanks in advance.
