I am fixing to order some VCI (vapor paper) to wrap some guns and parts. Is there any type that I shouldn't use? I am looking at some from "Uline". Anybody ever used any, suggestions? Thanks for any info.
Wrapping guns in VCI paper?

Wrap away. It'll work better if you put the wrapped parts into a plastic bag with a small desiccant pack.
I ordered some S&W paper to use but don't rely on it to keep my guns rust free. I also use a product called RIG. It's been around for a long long time. I bought a can [it is grease] about 30 years ago and it's still over half full. I keep a rag with RIG on it and wipe my guns down at least once a year. Don

We line crates with Daubert brand VCI paper for shipping printing presses overseas.
Unless you buy a large (and very expensive) roll, you're going to be stuck going through distributors like U-Line.
Here's a win-win combination....
wipe surfaces with preservative grease (or believe it or not... WD-40 works very well)
wrap in VCI paper
place in a vapor barrier bag, evacuate air and zip/seal)
put the bagged gun in a box, to protect the bag.
Good to go.

I wish I could get some of the RIG grease. I used to have some military cosmoline that I would have stock piled if I knew they were going to discontinue it. I heard Brownells has some but I haven't looked at it yet. I have some "spare" AR parts that I want to set back for a rainy day. Figured i'd give the VCI paper a try.
