Can it be used on wood or plastic?

This product is specifically formulated for metal. It is not recommended for use on wood or plastic as it may cause damage or discoloration.

Troubleshooting

Product does not dispense

Ensure the spout is not clogged. Try gently pressing the nozzle or clearing any obstructions with a small pin. Check that the cap is properly secured and that the bottle is at room temperature.

Sticking or slow-moving parts persist

Apply a second, slightly larger amount of oil and work the part back and forth. Ensure the area was thoroughly cleaned of old grime before application. For heavily seized parts, more persistent application may be needed.

Orange/brown residue appears on metal

This may indicate rust formation. Clean the affected area thoroughly with a degreaser or steel wool and reapply the 3-In-1 oil, ensuring complete coverage for protection.

Surface appears cloudy or smudged after application

Wipe away excess oil with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a cloth lightly dampened with water, then dry thoroughly.
