Waxing an OTA

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has waxed their steel OTA tube? A mate's tube has developed rust spots on it due to dew. I'm thinking it might be a good idea for two reasons: protects the steel some more, & the dew doesn't pool as much before running off but beads & runs.

Has anyone done this to their's? Is my thinking incorrect?

The mount would need to be particularly water resistant I would imagine. It could be subjected to more water. I dunno.

Ta,

Mental.
