Same here.As mentioned earlier a good dehumidifier. Kill the source of the issue (moisture) instead of finding the best band-aid.
I have a 600 foot basement shop that I have to share with the laundry and furnace type stuff so there are moisture sources, not to mention when the weather gets the dew point up into the 80s. I keep it turned on year round even though it rarely runs in the winter, mostly just on laundry day. I keep it set for 40% humidity and have it plumbed direct to a drain. I have bare steel that is more than 30 years old that is still rust free. No mess no fuss just works whether it is machines or stock.
What people need to understand is that even with a dehumidifier or without there is always moisture in the air.
The key thing is to regulate the humidity and temperature.
Someone mentioned seeing the beads of moisture form before their eyes, that is a temp issue, not solely moisture alone.
A dehumidifier not only takes the moisture out of the air, but it also keeps the temperature stable.
