WD-40 is not:
A lubricant.
** Yes is is.
A contact cleaner.
** Yes it is.
Sticky or gummy.
** One out of three.
It is a 100% volatile light solvent,
** Wrong. The solvent part is about 80%.
mostly ultra-refined kerosene,
** Wrong again.
designed to displace water
** But rarely used for that.
so that whatever it is may be cleaned or lubricated with
something designed for the purpose.
** Half witted bull****.
A sticky, gummy mess is what happens when existing skunge dissolves
into WD-40 and is then distributed throughout whatever it is
- for which the WD-40 is then blamed.
** Happens a lot.
The stuff is a cheap rinse, quite useful for removing and loosening skunge, rust and other detritus *IN PREPARATION FOR* the correct permanent treatment.
** Absurd crap from a serial bull****ter.
Cleaning audio controls - Not so much unless followed up with
the correct permanent solution thereafter.
** Aside from a new control, there is no "permanent solution".
