WD-40 is a lousy rust preventative for anything longer than a few weeks of storage, it dries and leaves a brownish varnish that isn't a good vapor barrier. Automotive Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is a light oil that is very slow to evaporate and leaves no residue, gives good film strenth for excellant rust protection and is quite inexpensive by the quart at Walmart.

I'd oil it down with ATF and store each press in a proper size cardboard box. All a plastic wrap will do is trap atmospheric humidity in place.

And I suppose I'd try to find a woman who can provide for me better. ??
