To prevent corrosion and ensure the longevity of your cast iron anvil's work surface, please observe the following care instructions: - Clean after each use: Thoroughly remove dirt and metal shavings with a brush or cloth.
- Avoid moisture: Dry the anvil immediately after contact with water, as moisture is the primary catalyst for rust formation.
- Apply a protective coating: Regularly rub the polished work surface with a thin layer of neutral oil, machine oil, or a special care paste to create a water-repellent barrier.
- Store in a dry place with low humidity to prevent condensation.
- Remove surface rust: If surface rust develops, remove it immediately with a wire brush or fine abrasive pad and then re-oil the area.
