WD-40 or Liquid Wrench in the bearings or bushings?


If you use either of these you much flush ALL the residue out!

WD-40 is for protecting tools from rusting,

and the solvents in it
evaporate leaving the rest to turn to a protective goo coating.

Fair enough, Phil, you've drunk the WD-40 kool-aid.

My experience with the residue of folks using WD-40 in arcade games is a
gooey residue which always gums up the works and is very difficult to
take apart to repair.

A good oil, grease, or synthetic lube is always preferred to a 'wonder'
drug like WD in my books. I guess I'm the anti-WDhrist.
