minus-squareTar_Alcaran@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoWd40 isn’t lube at all, it’s a solvent. Though the wd40 brand does make a whole lot of lubricants too.

minus-squareTar_Alcaran@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoGrease isn’t always the right thing either. For plastic-on-metal, you definitely don’t want grease.
