This almost seems analogous to a "jeff0 bullet box story"  I use WD on some things other than firearms. The frustrating part is the stupid integral spray straw fails to be useful before half can level. By half full it barely sprays at all. I need a different spray. What are you using to lube and disperse water?

I just buy it Costco in the 2 packs and live with not getting every last drop out.
Or you could get a gallon of WD-40 and put it in your own pump bottle.

using WD-40 on guns should disqualify you from owning them....

Like KC, I've been using Tri-Flow and really like it.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Depends on which WD 40 you are talking about. http://www.dayattherange.com/?page_id=3667

using WD-40 on guns should disqualify you from owning them.... lol I've used it for 40 years on firearms. Never, ever had a single problem with any of em' from usin' WD-40 on em'. It has been especially good on my waterfowling guns that I use in harsh conditions along the Texas coast.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

A more obscure product is always superior to a well-known one.

WD-40 is vegetable oil and after a long time it will eventually evaporate and leave a film that can be difficult to remove. It's great where you need a penetrating oil; i.e., like when you have to remove a rusted nut.
Rem Oil is paraffin based and it won't evaporate. I've been using it for several years wherever I used to use WD-40 and have never had any problems. I still use WD-40 when I need a penetrating oil. Remington has developed a new version Rem Oil Pro3. Don't know anything about it but they say it's better than the original. Well we shall see.

The straw clogs because of the gummy gunk left behind when the petroleum distillates (not vegetable oil) evaporate. You could move the straw to a can of brake cleaner for a quick shot after using it on the WD-40 can, or use a shot of compressed air.
WD-40 is a good, useful product but it isn't good for everything. It's intended use is water displacement, at which is works very well. It is not a very good lube, is only moderately good at long term rust prevention, and is pretty bad where dust and grit can build up.
And before somebody brings it up; no, it does NOT contain fish oil.

When my Benelli M2 slows way down I just spray a bunch of wd-40 into the action and it perks her right up!
I am MAGA.

I like to use a mixture of Acetone and ATF at a 60/40 ratio, Make sure to use NON synthetic ATF.
I still use WD40 for a few things but as a penetrating oil I like the acetone and atf.

Its garbage for use on guns. It dries up and they rust.

What are you using to lube and disperse water? For me the POS nozzles go out long before I get through a whole can. In fact, I can't remember the last time I got through a whole can of WD40. Because they can't be bothered to put a decent nozzle on their cans, I won't buy WD40 anymore. It's too bad, I actually like the stuff.

Fluid Film. Lanolin based. Big in the oil industry for rust prevention. Also great on leather boots. Buy it at John Deere around here.Does not dry out. Sent lots of it to my son in the Army.
