Please read the info on the wd-40 can. It s a good lubricant and one of the only ones that will not hurt a finish.
IT IS NOT A GOOD LUBRICANT. When the solvent dries, it leaves a sticky film that repels water....and gets stickier the longer it sits.
It was designed as a "Water Dispersant" and the claims of lubricating properties are just a marketing claim (lie).
Like I said, ask an expert......like a gunsmith. They won't let WD anywhere near a good gun, except maybe on the OUTSIDE of the metal parts to help prevent rust.
Not the best lubricant... But it certainly is one. It also does not leave a sticky film at all.
