WD-40 as a lubricant

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

WD-40 isn't viscous enough to be used as a serious lubricant. Supposed
to work OK to penetrate stuck pieces (note: LACK of viscosity) but
IMHO better penetrating products are available. If you try to depend
on any lightweight product as a lubricant (for anything other than
sewing machines or model trains) you'll find neverending applications
necessary. Even then you're probably experiencing excellerated wear.
Is tempting due to easy propellant application, but spray greases are
available. Best rule: if your grease gun will reach, use a proper
lubricant.
