I've found that a very good way to protect mild steel, tool steel, etc. is
to wrap the item in Daubert Uni-Wrap A VCI paper. See
<http://www.daubertvci.com/works.htm>
This paper is amazingly effective. Don't send me a bill if this doesn't
work, but I would guess that a part well-wrapped in Uni-Wrap, then
vacuum-sealed would be in good shape after a couple of years.
Besides the protection, what is really nice about Uni-Wrap is that the part
isn't gummy or oily.
PS - a good vacuum-bagger is a nearly-essential applicance in our view. We
use ours constantly, and not just for tools and spares <g>. We also pack
food with it, including anything going into the freezer for a length of
time.

Hi Steve -
We are considering a vacuum bagger - Do you have any recommendations?

Our is a Foodsaver, by Tilia. Italian made, sold in US (and Australia, so
coverage must be pretty good).

Note that the robustness of the appliance is only part of solution. The
other is the quality of the bagging stock. The Foodsaver material is really
tough.
Cheers,
Steve

I picked up one at Sears a few years back- they are getting scarce. Be
careful about overloading them! Also, the bags themselves can be fragile.
I've had watery spaghetti sauce because the bag broke. All it takes is a few
inadvertent scrapes inside an ice chest- I wound up going to double-bagging
and double-sealing.
Spaghetti is the consummate boiler bag meal. Your favorite sauce is frozen,
and then you cook it in the same water as the noodles. What could be easier!
Two-packs of AA batteries are also a favorite.

Doug ,
Are the Batteries Cooked with the Noodles or with the Sauce - instead
of Sausages ???
