Enough with the WD-40...
Does anyone remember, or seen (for the younger gen), the OLD "portable" phones and the ads with the cyclist holding a phone weighing 10lbs and the same size as his foot to his ear?
Back then that was...NEW TECHNOLOGY!
Guess what. So was WD-40. It is not the ideal lube for much more than tool storage and large moving parts anymore. Take some drops and compare side by side w/ the newer lubes and you'll see it is not very refined. Sure it works but,...so does spit. Try using lubes for high-speed serviceable skate wheels. They are ultra-refined and some are made to keep dirt and dust away from the surface. Just think about this- my skate bearings are rated to produce NO vibration up to 40Mph!
I'll try to find some links later to help but leave the WD on the shelf for Grandma.
BTW- as far as expelling water from your motor (NOT PCB) don't use lubricants for that, instead use brake cleaner (+ a mask!) in short shots. It evaporates extremely fast and won't harm the electrical (DO NOT SOAK MOTOR) but watch the overspray because clear plastics will cloud-permanently!
