You are spot on correct.....WD-40 was developed to be a water dispersant and this brew was the 40th blend. It does an amazing job of restoring conductivity to electrical connectors that have become soaked in water. Like others who have posted here, my experience is WD-40 does not make a good long term lubricant.
