So, in the revolversmithing class, the instructor advised DO NOT STORE ANY GUNS in foam or fabric as to the eventual corrosion due to moisture retention. Almost all my DWs are in cases that have fabric/foam.
If this is indeed the case, then I need to start putting coats of Renaissaince Wax on all of them? Or, do I buy a gross of gun socks? And if I put them in gun socks, is it okay to put the back in the factory foam cases?
Opinions? Thoughts?

Recommend sizes for Small and Large Frame that fits inside the factory pac? Should wood grips be removed?

Carnuba wax is as good or better than Renaissance wax, IMHO. Anything made for automobiles is better than that sold for guns. Heat, moisture, sun, friction is magnitudes higher for cars. Dextron ATF and Mobile 30 wt oil is better than Rem oil, etc. After Flitz on the outside and Dextron on the inside I dry the oil off the outside and wax the guns.
Silicon coated gun sock is great, and the corrosion resistant paper first is even better. Then put it in the case.
Folks in the hot humid south keep the AC on 24//7 unless it is winter. Then the heat is on. Either way, never keep the doors or windows open for long. Without AC/heat, steel will rust very quickly in the south, especially Florida. Folks up north like to open windows and use screen doors in the spring and fall. If you do that you should use a dehumidifier. Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, etc have the least worries. I love buying guns from Arizona. When I ran out of space I stopped polishing and waxing. Now I have about a years worth of polishing to do.
