FAQs
How do I ensure precise application with the flexible straw?
Lift the flexible straw to an upright position. This narrows the spray cone for targeted application, minimizing overspray and waste.
Can this product be used on electronics?
It can be used to displace moisture from electronic components after they have been powered off and are dry. However, avoid spraying directly onto live electrical circuits. Always ensure the product has evaporated completely before powering devices back on.
How long does the rust protection last?
The duration of rust protection depends on environmental conditions. For optimal and long-lasting protection in harsh or exposed environments, reapplication may be necessary.
Will this lubricant harm plastic parts?
WD-40 Flexible is generally safe for most plastics and rubbers, but it's always best practice to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to confirm compatibility, as some plastics may be sensitive.
What is the difference between the flexible straw and the regular straw?
The flexible straw is metallic, bendable, and retains its shape, allowing it to reach difficult or confined spaces without disassembly. The regular straw is typically a rigid extension for basic directional spraying.
How should I store the can after use?
Store the can upright in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight. Ensure the flexible straw is in the lowered position to prevent damage and accidental spraying.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is blocked or not dispensing.
Shake the can vigorously. Remove the flexible straw and clean the nozzle tip and straw opening with a dry cloth or a small brush. Ensure the straw is properly seated.
Product is not penetrating a stuck part.
Allow more time for the product to penetrate. Reapply if necessary. Gently tap or agitate the part to help the lubricant work its way in.
Residue left on the surface.
Wipe away excess product with a clean cloth. For stubborn residue on non-porous surfaces, use a degreaser or cleaner suitable for the surface material.
Flexible straw does not hold its shape.
Ensure the straw is not bent at an extreme angle. The straw is designed to hold a set position but excessive force can deform it. Allow it to cool if it has been used for an extended period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
- Shake the can well before use.
- Lift the flexible straw to a vertical position for precise application or lower it for wider coverage.
- Aim the nozzle at the desired area and press the actuator.
Compatibility:
This product is compatible with most metals and many plastics and rubbers. However, it is always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on painted surfaces or sensitive plastics, to ensure compatibility. Avoid contact with electrical contacts when the device is powered on.
Care:
Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the nozzle clean; if clogged, remove the straw and clean with a soft brush or cloth. After use, ensure the straw is lowered to prevent damage during storage.
