Rusty broadheads! Any fixes or go to stainless steel?

chap stick, lightly applied to edge.

As earlier stated pour mineral oil on the foam insert inside your quiver cover. Don't overdo it.Let it absorb overnite. Rub a little on each broadhead and slide them into the quiver foam. You should be good to go. I also rubbed some mineral oil on my rawhide Selway bow quiver. Really cleaned it up and added life to an older quiver. By the way, I purchased a nice side bottle of mineral oil for a buck 75 at my local grocery store. Cheap and not hard to find.I'm very pleased with its performance.

Depending on how bad the rust is. If established u can dip in or brush on rust converter, phosphoric acid. This way it stops the process of oxidization then u can work on them at u’r leisure. If wishing to work immediately it should be left for about 1/2 -1hr. I leave 24hrs. It will remain thus with a whitish powder coat for a few mths if kept dry. Next clean back to metal with a wire wheel on an bench grinder, being mindful of safety in both the grabbing ability of the wheel and the dust coming off. Repeat the dip process if dark shadows hint of more deeper rust. Once clean resharpen and spray with inox.  Another tip from Dr Ashby,  edited     ( Heat + high humidity = rust on broadheads, so be sure to check the sharpness frequently and keep them touched up at least daily. I found that spraying the broadheads with INOX worked better than anything else I've tried. INOX is a spray lubricant made in Canada Not only does INOX do a great job in inhibiting rust on the BH edges, it's an anitcoagulant too! Works much better than things like WD-40 or spray silicone. Vasaline is a coagulant, so not as desirable on your broadheads, especially on a marginal hit.)

Ditto for the boiled linseed oil. I'm one of the folks who still use it on my garden implements AND broadheads....Phil

Used to use chapstick. Worked great but it is a coagulate (spelling). Mineral oil now. Sometimes vegetable oil but it just feels wrong. Relying on vegetable oil to get a deer, really?

[Steve Clandinin]

It shouldn't just be called String wax,it works great on Broadheads and stands up way better than Vasaline.

Wow!  One of these tips ought to work for sure.  I like the idea of putting oil in the quiver foam.  Thanks again, guys.

I've used vaseline for decades but recently started using a gun rust preventative and storage agent called RIG.  I use it because I have it but it can be purchased from Brownells.
