Duct tape and WD-40.

If it moves when it shouldn't, use the duct tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.

Oh yea, and a very large hammer if the above fails.



Not WD-40.. use something that lubricates and prevents rust. 40 doesn't
lubricate...

Read the MSDS, Jon. It's about 30% petroleum oil. It is light weight
oil, so it may not be a superior long term lubricant, but it sure is a
useful short term lubricant. It also protectes againt rust pretty
effectively.

It might be "light weight oil" but it certainly is not a long term
lubricant. I've got some router cutters stored in a "tupper ware"
container. To prevent rust I sprayed them liberally with WD-40. Some
six months later I opened the container and not a sign of oil.
However, the cutters were covered with a brown sticky coating and
hadn't rusted :-)

WD-40 seems to work best as a penetrating oil to free up stuck stuff.

It's pretty useless in my experience. Doesn't do anything well.
The Mac26M of "oil"?
I would keep and use a small pump can of 10-40W engine oil and a rag
to wipe off excess as an "all-purpose oil" instead of WD40.
People use WD40 because it sprays out of a can and they can easily
keep their hands clean. That the only reason I know of at least.
Not too hard to get and store the proper lubricant for each
application.

Did you bother to read what I wrote before replying?

CWM

Sure did and just for you I'll rephrase my starement:

It might be "light weight oil" but it certainly is a lousy lubricant.

WD40 is kerosene. It just comes in handy spray can. It's mediocre,
at best, at everything people use it for.

Don't let the facts bother you. Its MSDS says WD40 is a 50% mixture of
CAS 64742-47-8 (commonly called "Deodorized kerosene"), CAS 64742-48-9
(mineral spirits), CAS 64742-88-7 ("Straight run kerosene"); 15-25%
CAS 64742-65-0 (dewaxed heavy paraffinic solvent); and an additional
12-18% of CAS 6742-47-8, the aforementioned deodorized kerosene.
Sounds like kerosene to me. That's a change from the last time I
looked at the MSDS (several years ago), when it was roughly 70%
stoddard solvent, which is an aliphatic mineral spirit with a boiling
point range entirely contained by kerosene's.

Ok, but this is not rocket science.

Go to Google and enter "CAS 64742-47-8".
The first hit I get is the Center for
Disease Control site, who call it "Low
odor paraffinic solvent Dearomatized
kerosine Deodorized kerosine. Doesn't
say anything about milk.

Are you incapable of reading for comprehension? The MSDS says it's
got kerosene in it. It calls it out by CAS number, because that's
what MSDSes do. There are lots of different types of kerosene, WD40
has at least two different types.
