It's good for cleaning grease off your hands if you don't mind the paraffin.

wd40 to reduce pin to socket friction is a bad idea, try something else like lps3

bondo might work ok as hsf compound but you're better off using a 10 ton press and jb weld to really make sure that cocksucker gets good heat transfer

WD-40 works great and I use it all the time. Un-squeaking a door or cabinet hinge, loosening rusted screws, loosening the latch of a carabiner that connects an anchor rope to the boat, etc. People just like to try and be cool by copying other people who say it doesn't work. As a lubricant for around the house it works just fine.

No it's fucking shit for every single one of those things. There's far better sprays to use most of which are about half the price

I use wd40 as a cleaner. It's not the same as it use to be. If you need a lube use garage door lube.

Oh jeez. Anon, get yourself a bottle of general purpose oil. It costs 1/3 what a can of wd-40 does. Lubricates everything household related.

WD-40 is for removing dirt and built up grime from metal stuff. Will help loosen up seized bolts and the like. You spray on your WD, unfuck the thing that is fucked, clean the thing, apply a real lubricant.

>> No.1171551

>>1170653
On rusty or stuck shit only:
WD-40 is a light oil (penetrating oil), it should be only used to set rusty stuff free (bolts and nuts). It will evaporate within the week. As it contains small carbon chains it can damage plastics.

On tool:
Oil for small mechanisms is less volatile and far better to lubricate tools. The best for tools are oils containing PTFE, safe for tools and will not evaporate.

WD-10 is good, but only for its real purpose. There is better stuff far more expensive. WD-10 is not a fucking "do everything, bring your wife back home and make your coffee" product. It has limited applications, like any other lubricant. You would not use a wood drill bit to drill metal.

It's not even a lubricant, you cunt. It's a solvent.

Why? Do you clean off the WD40 or do you let it just pool on your tools?

The whole point of WD-40 is it displaces liquid and leaves behind a protective oil coating.

DIY's thoughts on CRC-36? I've had good luck with it so far.
I'm particularly interested in getting more Bostik bladecote. I've had some and it really seems to help making blades last forever but it's like 20$ a can. anyone else use a cheaper equivalent?

I use it a lot for cleaning tar and bird shit, and for lubricating things I only need lubricated for a short time, but not permanently.

cheap WD-40 alternatives:
