Is it safe to use WD40 as a switch (or potentiometer) cleaner on
circuit boards and in electronic equipment?


WD40 is a mixture of kerosene and light spindle oil, not much good
for cleaning since it doesn't evaporate at any rate that would leave
a dry surface in your life time.


Except if you use WD40 to free-up and lubricate some mechanism
it'll all be gone in a fortnight!
