Totally agree, but you won't convince SteveB of that. He believes WD-40
is an adhesive.
no,it's just not worthwhile to use. and it does gum up over time.

I doubt you'll convince SmittyTwo of that. His mind seems to be made up.
And you may not have any other opinion than his.
But, I do agree. WD40 is for temporary lubrication, cleaning, and other
uses, but it does gum up over time, or is just a sand magnet.

ACTUALLY, it's not a lubricant at all. It's a water displacer.
And it is certainly not a penetrating oil.
I guess sinse rust is hydrated iron oxide, there could be a case made
for the water displacement function getting rid of the "rust" and
turning it to "iron oxide"
