Did I hurt my glidelock WD40 ?
I have a Hulk since 2011, and even though I also have a Smurf, and a 116600LN, I seem to always gravitate and wear my Hulk 90%+ of the time.
Anyway I had gained a little weight and working out with weights like when I was young, so I added a link back to the glidelock. I know the watch needs a service because the watch makes a noise like something loose when I rotate my wrist very quickly side to side, but since this is an unnatural movement I don’t do it. Anyway.......glidelock has been getting stuck with one notch showing. It got stuck tonight and I was able to disengage it once, didn’t want to use too much force to unstick it. And then it got stuck again ! I decided to go into my garage and grab my WD40 and put a squirt with a WD straw like end. It now slides smoother, and disengages much easier, and locks into place easier. Did I hurt anything ? |

No, you didn't hurt anything.
WD-40 is kerosene and mineral oil, both common cleaning and lubrication products.

The only potential damage will be the WD40's tendency to gunk up with dirt.
