WD-40 is a great product BUT never use any product in any other way than the manufacturer's recommended use. WD-40 was intended to be used as a solvent, protectant, and light lubricant with moisture displacing properties.
Go to their website at www.wd40.com for more info. Please read the MSDS ( material safety data sheet)
