Hello,
First off, i really apologize if this is too similar to older posts regarding rusting planes but I couldn't really find much realted to this specific problem.
I store my dakota no 5 in the original wooden box and wipe it down before use.
Today when I picked it up the sole had a large thick rust patch on it, which worried me slightly. I used an abrasive block thing from axminster designed to remove rust from metal.. It worked fine but now I'm left with this horrible scaley worn patch on the sole :/
Heres a photo of what I mean.. Is this normal? what can I do to prevent this? I bought two lie nielson socks to store my planes in.. What would prevent rusting or at least prevent it from happening this badly?
Will this surface be good enough to use or should I lap it to remove the strange scaley area?
Bit annoyed this has happened, not sure why/how it's happened but I want to remedy this situation and prevent it happening again.
