minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish11•2 months agoGraphite lubricant is awesome. I was going to use WD40 for my front door lock but luckily my brother had some graphite.
minus-square@SirSamuellink8•2 months agoGraphite for the deadbolt assembly, a lightweight silicon lubricant for the lock cylinder. WD40 for clearing water out of exterior extension cords, and melting Styrofoam cups to entertain your nephew
minus-square@hactar42OPlink3•2 months agoWD40 also works wonders for getting sticker residue of glass and metal. Better than goo gone in my experience.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•2 months agoWD stands for water displacement it removed light rust and therefore makes you think it’s a lubricant, but as a lubricant it’s not very long lasting.
