Q: If a compressed fluid like LPS or WD 40 is flammable under pressure...

[Zim Hosein]

Is it flammable once it sprayed onto a surface? The reason I ask is because the hinges on my oven squeak and I know that LPS or WD 40 will solve the problem, but I don't want my next thread to be, "I burned my apt. down on Thanksgiving!" Thanks in advance :beer:

I don't think a light lubricant that would attract dust and dirt is appropriate for oven hinges...

I wonder what the proper "food grade" stuff to use would be.. maybe some sort've graphite lube?

Any suggestions would be appreciated Eli :beer:

wd40 burns pretty good

get food grade lithium grease.

An oven tends to become a grease pit anyway without constant cleaning. Spray away.

I'd use vegetable oil. It would work, and you most likely have some on hand.

Hey, I'm not a physics major OrganizedChaos, but to the "best" of my knowledge, I described it from my experience!

when it doubt....just :beer: it
just get wasted tomorrow...then you dont have to worry about any of those things!!!

either am i. Infact failed highscool physics with somewhere around a 20 average. but anyway te thin spray stuff will dry up quickly and tends to make a mess. heavy greaves get nasty and crusty and will look bad on te oven. I'd try usin a dry-fil graphite lube. you should be able to find in autoparts stores as doorlock lube or in a store the deals in firearms.

Phew. I thought you were going to spray it in your beer.

Sorry, forgot to put a wink at the end of my post.

Can you disasemble the hinge? if so, Copper greese might work due to high temps

According to this the flash point of WD-40 is: Tag Open Cup 110°F (minimum)

So that means it could be anything from 110°F to 5 bazillion °F....
