This is actually opposite. It takes much longer for WD-40 to dry out than thin soapy water. Just try spraying it on to the chain and see how long it takes to dry. It takes forever(like months) to feel completely dry to your finger. It takes only about an hour for the soapy water to dry out and dried soapy water hold rubber and the metal together much better.
