Oil for plastic laptop hinges

So does WD-40. WD40 is nasty stuff with most plastics. It seems to get inside the plastic and it disintegrates suddenly and catastrophically at a later date. -- JJ |

Oil for plastic laptop hinges
get very 'difficult to move' making the screen difficult to fold up and down. We have have tried 'WD-40', but that seems effective for only a very short time. And is bad for the plastic. We are afraid to use ordinary oil as we thought it might effect the plastic. So does WD-40. WD40 is nasty stuff with most plastics. It seems to get inside the plastic and it disintegrates suddenly and catastrophically at a later date. Radio Spares part number 175-5880 Special plastics grease Hope that helps John. |
