The product itself is OK I guess, but the last straw was finding 5 dysfunctional cans in the FIL's barn last year. 0 dysfunctional cans of Gibb's, PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, or ANY other brand. I've probably had a dozen cans over the years with broken or clogged nozzles or just plain no charge in them. I'm done with them and there are better products anyway.
And don't get me started on MLB because I'm really passionate about that.
I too have had issues with WD40 not having enough propellant to fully empty a can. I have a super small air nozzle that works great with those small plastic tube's on the spray nozzle. I'll stick it in and hit my air nozzle and push down the can nozzle. When the bubbling sound stops I release the can nozzle.
if you pee on a rusty bolt it would work better then wd40.

can't afford that fancy kroil, even though i do like it.
And take the Tigers with you!!!
My only knock on WD-40 is that it can freeze and even made my 870 malfunction in very cold weather.
I do like that I can spray it on plastic to clean it, and after I clean a rifle bore, I spray a touch in the barrel and then run dry patches just to give it some rust protection during storage (that does not affect 1st shot accuracy). This system seems to work very well for me. Many of my best groups include the 1st shot, which when hunting is the only one that counts.
I have migrated to using Hornady One Shot as a general gun lubricant and bore cleaner.

I was using a can of WD-40 over the weekend, and it seemingly lost all pressure in an instant. It's not the first time that it's happened, but I think I'm about done with buying it. Except maybe for some small uses on a couple of my rifles.
I've actually had better luck using penetrating lubercant to remove rusted bolts.

I discovered that Stihl hedge trimmer cleaner is a good lubricant, and it seems more like a penetrant. Needed lubricant one day, and that's all I had.
