To the WD40 users. 50 years ago WD40 was corrosive and has not
improved yet. Just leave a shiny chrome thing in it overnight and
look at it in the morning.


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.


Oak rust; the gift that keeps on giving. :-)
