HOW TO PREVENT TOYS FROM RUSTING?

[PilapZ]

hi guys! im just new to toy collecting and im a little bit of a newbie with toy maintenance. what are the do's and dont's to prevent my toys from rusting?

i already noticed that some of my tfs are starting to have rusts on them, especially on the wheels. is there a way to repair this?

i keep them in a room temperature closet which is covered with glass. they are far from sunlight and dust rarely gets in. i dont get them wet either yet i notice rust starting to manifest! gargh!

your tips will be greatly appreciated. thanks!

'sweaty hands' can also cause rusting to some metallic parts on your toys.

well you can buy those silica Desiccants, keeps the cabinet clear of moisture, i use these for my comic book collection and camera. I got them for P35 at druids keep comic book shop. I think i bought like 20 packs he he he. After a while of absorption just pluck em in the microwave to dry em out then use em again, lifespan is about 3 years.
