This is not meant as an attack on Joy, but I have a problem with people =
making
statements based on what they think would happen although they have no

do this, and I may even have done it myself, but I have tried to discipline
myself to respond only when the subject is something I have had a lot of =
direct
experience with. WD 40 in the extruder barrel or anywhere else, will not
affect being able to single fire glazing. I single fire exclusively and use
wd-40 in the barrel, have done so every time I have extruded, and have also =
used
it in other methods and tools with no ill effect.
