Premium Members Gordon Li-Ron Posted October 11, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I know this topic has been covered several times but I have a specific question. I was practicing last night and when i finished, I noticed some tension in the elbow of my arm. there is a substantial amount of rust at the connection point of both ends of the elbow. I have some ACF-50 coming tommorow afternoon but I have a real small easy one shot gig tomorrow and I'm wondering if WD40 would work ok as a bandaid. Is it a problem to add ACF-50 after you have already added some lubrication or WD40. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Jason Torbitt Posted October 11, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Yes, WD-40 drives out moisture and i is a degreaser, as Job says. Works great around the house but 'just say no!' to using it on the arm. Plenty in the archives on this here, use ACF-50 or proper grease/oil.

Premium Members Gordon Li-Ron Posted October 11, 2006 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 OK my bad, I won't use WD40. I know a lot has been mentioned on lubrfication but my main concern now is would it be dumb to use some type of lubrication for a shot I have to do in the afternoon. Later on today I will be getting some ACF-50 (someone will be bringing it to me) Is it a problem to use ACF50 after I've already applied other lub earlier in the day. If so..should I remove the original oil/lub.used something else. SFX here has plenty of nice lubrication and i was just wondering if this is a stupid idea. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Gordon Li-Ron Posted October 11, 2006 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 my shot was cancelled...maybe its sign that I should wait. I'll just wait for the acf-50 to show up. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgilles Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 WD40 is basically the same thing, ACF has extra additives, but otherwise totally compatible with WD. So spray away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Gordon Li-Ron Posted October 13, 2006 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Wow....ACF-50 is the best 20 bucks I've ever spent. Thanks for all the help Job, Jason, and bob. Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
