[Boatanchors] WD-40 Story (Was "SB-200..."

[David Stinson]

Got a good lesson about WD-40 a few years ago.
I have a fan with a "sealed" rear bearing I use in 
my shop for them hot days.  It seems "forever" 
is a short time, because the "last forever, never lube" 
rear bearing stalled the fan.  Drilled a small hole in the 
end and shot in some WD-40.  Fan runs OK for several days,
then stalls again.  Spary in more WD-40, runs for a few days,
etc.  Repeat.   
I finally got tired of being a dummy and pumped-in some
"3-N-1" oil- the "blue-can" type for electric motors.
Haven't had to lube it again since.
