Is WD-40 Dangerous To Use?

("them" meaning pianos, from an earlier post)

Hope that weasn't too long winded....

Joe, I for one thought that was quite fascinating. Thanks for the insight!

Joe, thanks for the answer. So in a nut shell the WD-40 makes things TOO slippery and attracts dust. I would not have thought that a certain amount of friction was needed, I would have figured less friction the better. Glad I don't have a piano, I would have ruined it by now!!

The spellings in China are just as good. I have some pictures that I took of some good "Chinglish" signs. I bet many will be fixed before the Olympics next year.

Thanks for the heads-up about the toothpaste; I guess I'll have to switch back to the cheap Chinese "Aqla Flesh" from the dollar store. Antifreeze, anyone?

Joe

P.s. - no anti-Chinese sentiment intended; I just really love some of the spellings at the dollar store though....

Been there, yep, do not use it to lubricate any part of your bicycle.

Not for lubrication, but in a previous life where I raced bicycles it was the prefect thing to make a titanium bike frame look new again - just wash the bike then when it's dry spray a little WD40 on a cloth and wipe it down.
