Strings & WD-40, was: Dead bass strings

"The strings were cleaned and lubed with LPS-1"

Joe, did you mean that the strings were cleaned with LPS-1, or that the strings
were lubed with LPS-1 after cleaning with something else?

| A local, well respected tech, regularly applies (wipes on) WD-40 to plain wire
strings for its hydrophobic properties - so that the strings do not rust. Seems
like a good idea to me, although I have never tried it.

SNIP.

| I guess that is part of why I am reluctant to use it as in the moderate first
example for rust protection - but I am curious. Who thinks what?
