OK except for the WD40. Don't get the stuff on the wood or finishing will be VERY difficult. Fish eye and all that kind of stuff. I only use WD40 outside or well away from any woodworking gear.

Yet another thingie extolling WD40 as a catchall 'solution' to just about everything. This time a 'cleaner'. :rolleyes:

There are better solvents!
