Aren't they at opposite ends of the spectra ? Thanks, Bob wd40 is neither it is a water dispersant. nothing else. it is basically kerosene. Contrary to what appears to be common opinion, WD40 IS a lubricant (all-be-it a pretty poor one), a solvent, and a penetrant (again, a relatively poor one) as well as a water displacer. It is NOT Kerosene, although it is closely related to kerosene in it's construct, and kerosene is almost as good as a penetrant and solvent - and not too far off as a lubricant. Kerosene and WD40 are both good cutting lubricants for aluminum. |
