moog5050 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I hit all moving parts on my garage door with WD40 for the first time since the house was built 12 years ago. And the garage door is now quieter! Amazing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single_shot Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 WD40 is a poor lubrication. Before you sacrifice me to the dogs, and call me bad names , hear me out. WD40 is NOT intended to be a lubricant as all it actually does is displace moisture. It does however have a slight lubricity to it. However, PB blaster lubricant is a better choice IMO or anything silicone based.Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Single_shot Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I use WD40 on my truck door hinges when they get squeaky ...poor choice, but they quiet instantly. I have 2 kinds of actual lubricant that function as intended, 1 is an oil squirt can and the other is PB Blaster spray lube.Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 My favorite is Tri-Flow. Started using it in the print shops, we called it mechanic in a can. Use it for all my firearms too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowin Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I think WD40 is a better penetrate then a lubricant. I find the best lubricant to be Fuid Film 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubborn1VT Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 WD40 makes a white lithium grease. Comes in a spray can. Excellent lube for truck door hinges and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Lithium grease is what I have used on car door hinges. Would have used it on the garage door but only had wd40. Still works for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot 327 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I have been told by serious fishermen that if you spray WD-40 on your nightcrawlers they are irresistible to catfish. I have not tried it as it has been years since I last fished for Mr. Whiskers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 As I told my girls , when they got their own places . If it doesn’t move and it should wd 40 . If it moves and it shouldn’t, duct tape or zip ties . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single_shot Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I really thought you meant the regular WD40 at the time of my post. Since then I have seen for the first time in my life, that WD40 has some other serious spray lubricants I never thought existed. My apologies. Silicone base would be my best answer in this case.
