I found a squeaky door so I got the oil and fixed it… Then did every door I could before my wife caught me.
Am I alone here? It’s so satisfying to just glide open!
Edit: She followed up with: “you’re enjoying yourself too much”
Damn straight I am. It’s the little things you have to enjoy!
I could really use this. Few too many squeaky hinges.
This bottle is like 10 years old and it’s maybe halfway. Just need a few dots at the top to drip down the length, open/close a few times then wipe off the extra.
Use it on bike chains locks or really anything that jas metal touching metal. I even have a food safe silicon lubricant for kitchen use. Bought that for my 3D printer though haha. Far too many people use WD40 as a lubricant.
Edit: word of warning it does smell and takes a bit to go away. I tend to do it in the morning and open the windows.
WD40 don’t lube shit!
Its good for getting seized things unstuck but you should always follow with a grease or oil after cleaning.
Getting into bicycling lead me down a rabbit hole of lubricants, anti-seeze compounds and grease… I can’t stop!
Tri-Flow is my go to in this house
Yeap. Bicycling taught me about lubricants too!
Yeah I used WD-40 on a bicycle 2 times, both times it worked for 3 minutes and then it made it much worse. Especially with the chain, grease is indefinitely better for that purpose
WD-40 is mostly solvents with a bit of oil. It’s not meant as a long-term lubricant.
Oddly enough, I kind of like the smell of it.
Same, smells like less squeaking!
I used to be a huge biking enthusiast. Smells like childhood to me!
