Thanks,
 
I have always dipped them in olive oil but they will eventually start to rust.  I will try the petroleum jelly...
 
Thanks,
 
Scott

I thought I'd share this with others since it has been a big help to me.  I've had trouble in the past keeping hinges and screws from rusting in the canopy of a tank.  I started taking a qtip and lightly swaping on some medicinal Petroleium Jelly(pure and unscented) on these and have had no rust problems for several years now.  One application usually lasts a year or more.
 
If you already have rusty parts I recommend replacing them then doing an application of the jelly to protect the new hardware.
