Suppose you accidentally clean your gun with a degreaser. How do you unfuck yourself in that situation?
>>64433574take it apart completely, wipe it bone dry reassemble with CLP
>>64433574Just... regrease it? If it's stripped of lubricant, that just means you can dry it and re-apply.
>>64433574wd-40 is not a degreaser
>>64433574>AccidentallyWhut? I regularly use degreasers for gun cleaning.>How do you unfuck yourself in that situation?There's nothing "fucked" about it. If the gun isn't lubed, then lube it, Einstein.>>64433618It's funny how people are retarded about that. You'd think it was obvious that its purpose is displacing water.
>>64433618>wd-40 is not a degreaserwd-40 is nothing. wd-40 is everything. Schrödinger's petroleum product.
>>64433574wd40 is a very fun pocket flamethrower btw
>>64433631>>64433640it literally isits kerosene, naphtha and parrafin waxwax is not greasekerosene and naphtha break down grease
>>64433954>kerosene and naphtha break down greaseYes, but not very well, which is why describing WD-40 as a degreaser is silly. Something like acetone, TCE, or lighter hydrocarbons than naptha are far more effective.>and parrafin waxLolno. why do you parrot bullshit when this is so easy to look up?https://files.wd40.com/pdf/sds/mup/wd-40-multi-use-product-aerosol-low-voc-sds-us-ghs.pdf
>>64433574WD40 doesn't really degrease much, so I'd say use an actual degreaser instead, and then apply new grease or oil, depending on what the gun wants (Garands prefer grease over oil, for instance).
>>64433574>tfw cleaned my grease gun with degreaserwut do now /k/?
>>64434011OH NOIT'S GONNA VANISH
>>64433954moron
>>64434011That increases rate of fire, turn off your smoke detector
>>64434011now you have a gun
>>64433631>displacing water.>water displacement >WD>formula #40>WD40Couldn't be more self explanatory. Also, Mobile 1 for lube.
>>64434011There should be norhing left, repeat until it's invisible.
Literally the same exact fix for every gun issue ever: generous application of CLP, several hand cycles, wipe down.
>>64433574You're not fucked, you're just doing a deep cleaning. Wash out the degreaser and dry with cloth and air. Then apply fresh grease. You really should be doing this every couple thousand rounds anyway. Grease likes to "collect" dust and debris. >>64433618Yeah, that's weird but not the craziest use of WD-40
>>64437268>craziest use of WD-40List of crazy uses? Asking for a friend...
>>64437283Tried to waterproof my shoes with WD-40 once. In hindsight, I'm surprised I didn't fall.
>>64433574it's not a degreaser, you're a fucking moron
>>64433574>accidentally degrease>what do?Regrease, duh. Oil the whole thing, saturate it with oil, and wipe it off with a towel until it doesn't leave your hands oily any more. Don't get oil on the wood or plastic. Aluminum (ie. AR upper/lower) doesn't need oil but it can make anodizing look darker and nicer.>>64433974NTA but IIRC they did change the formula in the past few years so it may be different if you looked at a 2020 MSDS. The new stuff does smell different if I remember right which is disappointing as WD40 has a distinct smell. It's like 50% of the reason I want to use it. I have a small hoard of the old stuff which I add to when I find it cheap.>>64437309Rather than turning your shoes into an oil slick, I'd try paraffin wax, mink oil (for leather), a mix of silicone & naphtha, or if you're feeling adventurous, maybe hot glue. I'm heavily considering the last one as repair for rips or wear involves little more than a heat gun and maybe additional application. Sticks to itself and can be melted over and over so damage isn't a big deal. Also my boots are kinda coming apart so I should say fuck it and experiment anyways.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HedRbIsM75Mhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_R0gEDZhAIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45JhacvmXV8

>use WD-40 to clean the gun>clean and dry it and then spread lubricate on moving parts Did I do something wrong though?
>>64433574Give it a good scrubbing with Hopps #9 or any other bore cleaner. I know from experience because a gangbanger I once had as a neighbor once paid me $20 to fix his gun he bought from off the streets. The previous owner thought he could oil it up with WD-40 so the entire inside was coated in it and had turned into sticky jelly. The gun couldn't even cycle properly and he'd have to manually eject the spent casing and cycle in the next round while the syrupy mass inside the gun tried to stop him.I took apart the entire gun and then took a tooth brush and dipped it in Hopps #9 and managed to scrub all that crap off everything. I then reoiled the gun with proper gun lube and had that gun working as smooth as glass afterwards. It takes no longer than a full tear down cleaning routine like you'd do when trying to get cosmolean out of your gun.
>>64437283>List of crazy uses? Asking for a friend...Co-worker got his brake pads and rotors changed. It started squeaking so he went back to the mechanic. The mechanic told him to apply WD-40 to his rotors/brakes.Mind you, mechanic only verbally told him to do so. The mechanic didn't do it himself as that would have been attempted murder.
>>64440399The flanged brake a classic
>>64437283I once sprayed it straight in my mouth to impress a girl. Noting cool happened except I couldn't walk up or down stairs for 2,5 days. Like as soon as I started going I just lost my balance and couldn't get up again, I had to crawl on all fours or hold the railing real tight with both hands. Two months later I got the girl pregnant, so I'm happy with the outcome
