There is a large ``cult`` against wd40 because someone chose to start it
then the rest have not tried it and are hell bent that it wont work .

For ordinary pot , switch , control cleaning wd40 works fine . More is
not better . It does not leave gunk behind .




The old favourite was carbon tetrachloride (if you can still get it) with a
drop if machine oil in it - usually one drop of 3-in-1 in a teaspoonful of
CTC.

Yikes! Scary scary stuff!

Carbon tet has been banned here since I was a
young fellow, and that was back about the time
they invented dirt Or dirty controls, anyway

Don't even think about buying it. And if you should
happen to have some, please get rid of it. Safely.
Call your hazardous waste folks.

Geez Ken, there are some of us who can and do handle hazardous
materials in our work every day.
Carbon Tet is way down on the list of some of the hazardous materials
I've used.
Just avoid ignition devices around it and have plenty of ventilation
to avoid breathing any of the fumes.
Look up the MSDS on use and handling and you'll be fine.
