LOL --- Yes, I think I got carried away with the WD-40, will have to
be more careful next time, not to do that, but to post here first for
any advice :)

I got carried away: Will clean the surfaces and belt(s) as
suggested. Are there any WD-40 removers on the market? :)

Pure alcohol.
Avoid methanol (unless you have very good ventilation) because it is toxic,
vapors toxic and it also absorbed through the skin.

Avoid 'rubbing alcohol', unless it is pure isopropyl alcohol, because it
can leave a residue

You can use 'Ever-clear' (195 proof vodka) [and even drink the part you
don't use]. :)

Keep clear of ignition sources while using.


Thanks for the helpful info.

P.S. I think I was inspired by an article on the web, which showed how
to fix a DVD player's drive mechanism (FYI, the Panasonic RV-32) using
WD-40. Thought that WD-40 would be a useful tool -- You guys are
right, will have to be more careful next time, and post here first for
any advice :)
