But don't pass it off as the thing to do for everyone. Use DeOxit 5. It is a fader lube as well.
You seem pretty pissy for someone simply offering their opinion on something.
Thus the troll

It seemed to me that certain people actually give some kind of shit about pots. But again, it is only my opinion.

LOL that is taken from another internet forum here https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/wd-40-as-contact-cleaner.36407/ , if you read the rest of the thread you will see that most of the other posters suggest it is not a good idea to use it on electronics. But of course it must be right because someone has posted it on an internet forum!

The WD-40 manufacturers web site here https://www.wd40.com/products/industrial-size/ says "WD-40 Multi-Use Product protects metal from rust and corrosion, penetrates stuck parts, displaces moisture and lubricates almost anything". It also says it works great on gears, threads and hinges. Strangely enough there is no mention on the manufacturers website or on the instructions on the can of WD-40 in my workshop that say it is suitable to use on delicate electronic components.

It seems this thread is proof if ever it were needed that you can't fix stupid.

it's interesting that what seems to be a site where you could flippantly discuss the joys of Gibson ownership is actually a Correctional Facility. There are more meaningful discussions like should I take my pick guard off? and if most peoples say no then that's what you must do.. Regardless of what you think.. Baaa! Baa! Black Sheep.

There's a difference with a Correctional Facility however (and a big advantage): if you don't like it, you are free to run away to more pleasant places, and no one forces you to stay.

Are you kicking me out? I like it and I think you do too. Admit it you enjoy that someone has their own stance on things ..Otherwise you would just go play your guitar.. No one is forcing you to reply.. How do you feel about Gibson guys spraying guitars without masks ? Not as harmful as dust in your pots I'd imagine..

The guy on the internet who has 35+ years of experience as an electronics engineer and knows full well that WD-40 should never be sprayed into potentiometers.

You started this thread by posting a message suggesting that it was a good idea to spray WD-40 into pots, I (and numerous other people) simply pointed out that that it was not a good idea but you refused to accept that and became stubborn defensive and argumentative causing the thread to become what it has.

There are many people on this forum who have great knowledge and experience in a wide range of different subject areas and are always willing to share that with others and offer help and advice. However when someone refuses to accept that advice and attempts to turn it into an argument it makes one wonder why we bother.

Are your totally baseless insinuations that I wouldn't care for Gibson's worker's health your best argument proving that using WD40 as pot cleaner is a good idea?
