WD-40 is not a lubricant. (actually it's not much of anything) So
you've picked the wrong product to begin with.

Steve you are just wasting time talking down WD-40. It is good for
everything including moles, colds, and tight butt holes.
I would not even have a can of that junk in my house.


In its defense, it is good at flushing muck out of old locks or other
mechanical things that you don't want to disassemble prior to lubing
them. Also good for drying out wet distributor caps (its original
purpose.)

I think I read in one of those household hint things that it's good for
relieving certain bug bite itching. Smell will keep futures at bay I
would think anyway :-)


that's what kerosene does. people been putting kerosene on wasp stings
and bug bites for centuries.


For the most part, they only sell kerosene by the gallon. That alone
makes WD-40 more useful. And they don't sell kerosene in aerosol
cans. Sure it WD-40 costs more that way but it's often much more
useful. I'm not just talking about wasp stings but the hundreds of
other things WD is good for.
