FAQs
What are the primary uses of WD-40 Multi-Use Product?
It is primarily used for penetrating stuck parts, lubricating, displacing moisture, protecting against rust, and cleaning grease and grime.
How do I switch between the precision spray and wide spray with the Smart Straw?
To use the precision stream, flip the red straw up into the upright position. To use the wide spray, flip the red straw down so it rests flush against the can.
Is WD-40 a lubricant or a penetrant?
It functions as both. It is an excellent penetrant for freeing stuck parts and also provides effective, temporary lubrication for many applications. For heavy-duty, long-term lubrication, specialized greases or oils might be more suitable.
Can I use this product on plastic and rubber?
WD-40 Multi-Use Product is generally safe on most materials, including plastics and rubber. However, it's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on sensitive or painted surfaces, to ensure compatibility.
Is it safe to use WD-40 on electrical components?
Yes, it can be used on electrical components to displace moisture and clean contacts. Ensure the power is off before application and allow it to dry thoroughly before restoring power. It is non-conductive when dry.
How should I store the can?
Store the can in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, open flames, and heat sources. Keep it upright and out of reach of children and pets.
Troubleshooting
Straw seems blocked or not spraying correctly.
Ensure the straw is firmly seated in its nozzle. If still blocked, check for any dried residue at the tip of the straw or nozzle and carefully clear it with a thin wire or pin (ensure the pin doesn't break off inside).
Product not effectively loosening stuck parts.
Apply a generous amount, ensuring good saturation of the stuck area. Allow adequate time (10-15 minutes or more) for the penetrant to work before attempting to free the part. Reapply if necessary and tap the part lightly to help the product penetrate deeper.
Can stops spraying, even if it feels like there's product inside.
This can happen if the can is held upside down for extended periods, causing propellant to escape. Try shaking the can vigorously, ensuring it's at room temperature, and holding it upright when spraying. If the issue persists, the propellant may have depleted.
