@middle.road, what a bummer! Lanolin mix will do well, but I'm thinking using VCI paper as drawer liners is a logical next step for you. VCI vapor stays trapped in drawers, so while not ideal like a ziploc, it should last a while and it's cheap.
I bought a roll of VCI paper (pricey at $40 a roll, but not much more than a couple cans of LPS) before I got a dehimidifier for the shop. At first, I was just wrapping things up before I put them in a drawer or a box, but soon I just covered the bottom of each drawer with it, because that roll is huge.
And yeah, it works well - at least in the sense that nothing in the VCI paper gets rust, unlike the stuff that touches a silica dessicant packet. I haven't done a controlled experiment, though, and the shop now has a dehumidifier, so I'm not ready to declare it a cure-all.
