A guy I knew worked for a company in So Cal that made some sort of large
machines, maybe for the printing industry. Because they were in an
environment like yours, they didn't bother to protect the metal parts.
(No plating or paint, I guess).
They sold one to a company in Atlanta. It rusted so bad in short
order that the buyer sent it back.
I guess it's all in your point of view. The rasp and drift that I
derusted for my webpage 2 days ago already have a fine coat of red rust
on them.
