Unless you got some qualifiers for that statement, it is not true


** Use Google and find out.



If true, what is that **** on my silver candy bowl ?


** As already explained, it's "Silver Sulphate" or Ag2S !!!



I would still not use anything that is not residue free on a tube socket.


** A comment about you, not the topic. How silly.



"Products like WD40 are certain to cause no leakage. "

Unless it is sealed it is still a good idea to wash it down.
There can be conductive stuff in the dust in the air and it
can stick to the oil residue. So maybe the oil is not conductive
but the resulting goop is. It really does depend on what you're cleaning.



** So you have not tried it and have no idea.

Just like all the other half wit, WD40 paranoids
