<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 379359, member: 4552&quot;]Kind of true but not entirely. Rust is in reality a form of Oxydation and that gas has a habit of combining with almost anything. However, there are hundreds of types of Stainless Steels out there and many higher grades deter rust for massively long periods of time. </p><p>Meanwhile as to staples rusting. That made me curious. I have some medical records from when I was a kid. They are stapled together and I went an looked at them. They are approximately 60+ years old. No rust on those staples and I don&#039;t think they were made of anything special back then. </p><p>Probably the rust gods realized I needed those papers so they kept the rust out. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>So much depends on where the staples are kept, what they are made of, the invironment, what they are used for, etc. </p><p>Now if made in China they are probably Lead so no problem. Ever see toys from China with rust?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
