Author Topic: WD-40 Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 09-19-2001 02:32 PM                     What are your thoughts on using WD-40 to clean a projector? That's what I use. But I use it sparingly, only when necessary to remove some stubborn gunk. I find that it's really helpful in removing junk that's caked on to the tension bands. I just spray it on a Q-Tip and wipe the bands.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-19-2001 02:38 PM                        Run and cover!!! I'm sure many will have something to say about this. Here is a link to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this "corrosion preventive compound": http://hazard.com/msds/h/q490/q132.html It is very important to keep WD-40 OUT of bearings and OFF the film!!! ------------------ John P.

Please do not start threads when there is already a discussion in progress. This causes discussions to be split between multiple threads and creates an unorganized discussion, inparticularly for archival use. Please read the ENTIRE F.A.Q. document before posting again. Thanks.  |  IP: Logged
