My HW baseboards were making a woody squeaking and snapping when the
heat came on and a less frequent noise when cooling off. I squirted some
WD40 around the pipes where they come up through the floor liberly so
it ran down the two layers of floor. Now I never hear them. I never
heard of this before, one of the random stupid things I do.

It sounds like your pipes are rubbing against the floor when the pipe
expands , and the WD-40 made less friction between the 2.
Hey if it works, good for you. I would have don the same thing

Be careful with the oil if you have wood finished flooring. It could
stain and bleed under the finish. Another alternative would be to
slip a piece of plastic from a milk jug between the pipe and the wood
where it's rubbing.

You da man! WD40 is a wood lubricant now!

I must correct you, only Nazis say that. It's a
water displacer. And toilet paper rolls off
the top.

Please let us know when they squeak, again. Be interesting
to see.
