Armor also makes a dry film you can spray on the blocks, before you wrap them.

Great recommendations. Thanks!

LPS 3 spray , it's a soft waxy non drip protectant for bare metal. Works great without any covering, but even better if you can wrap with that stretchy rolled wrap.

Even better if you keep blocks a couple feet off the ground or on plywood.

I use this stuff on all my hydraulic ram cylinders on my backhoe that sits outside all winter.

One can per block or one can will do about three cranks..it won't drip off over time

Another great recommendation. It looks very similar to the sprayable chain oil someone else recommended, which I have a couple cans of sitting on my shelf.

Am surprised we've gotten to page 2 and no one has mentioned Boeshield T-9.

True aerospace technology. T-9 was developed and licensed by global aerospace leader, The Boeing Company, to fill a need for high-performance, long-term metal protection and lubrication. T-9’s unique formulation of solvent carrier and paraffin wax coating was engineered to penetrate crevices deeply, displace moisture, dissolve minor corrosion, and leave a clean, waxy coating with lasting durability—without using Teflon, silicone, fluorocarbons, MEK, or acetone.

Lots of "plastic storage bags" are permeable to water vapor. I found that out the hard way. I never saw any real difference between oiled and non-oiled blocks, stored side by side in the core shed.

For anything I expected to store for an extended period, I started using trash cans with big dessiccant packs from eBay. Those worked fine, though sometimes a little hammer work was necessary near the bottoms of the cans.

Vacuum bag it. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sunbeam-Jum ... /205743780

Better still, spray some Royal Purple Vapour Phase inhibitor in there first. http://www.royalpurpleindustrial.com/pr ... ve-oil-10/
