To the WD40 users. 50 years ago WD40 was corrosive and has not

I just did. I'll report what I find tomorrow.

I'm not expecting any significant findings, but then you know how I am...


I'm expecting any surface rust from the inside of the section of chromed
tube to be sitting at the bottom of the cup, and for the chrome outside
to be very shiny and clean.

That is, unless I neglected to vacuum out all the oak saw dust that was
in the cup. In that case, there should be nothing but grains of
dissolved iron, that is of course, if it doesn't cause an explosion.
