Gentle-Flow WD-40 Lubricant Valve for Delicate Materials and Light Lubrication with Feather-Touch Actuation.
Product Description:
Handle the most delicate tasks with precision and care using our
Gentle-Flow Valve. Designed for applications where standard spray
force is too aggressive, this valve delivers an ultra-soft,
low-pressure mist or a gentle trickle of lubricant. It is perfect
for treating delicate materials like antique paper, fragile
textiles (in conservation), lightweight model aircraft parts, or
for applying a minimal protective coating to highly polished
surfaces without any risk of blow-back or oversaturation. The valve
features a feather-touch actuator that requires minimal pressure,
providing exceptional control for the most meticulous work. For
museum curators, model builders, conservators, and engineers
working with micro-components, this valve offers a level of finesse
previously unattainable from an aerosol can, ensuring that delicate
items are preserved and treated with the utmost care.
Bullet Points:
Delivers an ultra-soft, low-pressure mist for delicate and fragile materials.
Feather-touch actuator provides supreme control for meticulous work.
Prevents damage or displacement of lightweight parts from spray force.
Ideal for model building, antique restoration, and archival conservation.
Applies a minimal, controlled protective coating to polished or sensitive surfaces.
Specific Application Scenario: A museum conservator uses the valve to apply a minuscule amount of corrosion inhibitor to the delicate, non-moving parts of an ancient metal artifact, using the gentle mist to avoid disturbing any surrounding patina or fragile material.
Factory Production Floor: These valves are produced in small batches with extremely fine orifice lasers and calibrated to a very low internal pressure threshold, making them some of the most precise valves in the lineup.
Packing and Transportation: Packaged in premium, foam-lined boxes to prevent any damage to the precise nozzle. Handled as a high-precision instrument during shipping.
FAQ:
Q: How gentle is the spray compared to a standard valve?
A: The output pressure is a fraction of a standard valve, more akin
to a gentle breath than a spray, ensuring it won't damage or
displace even the most delicate components.
Q: Can it dispense a liquid drop instead of a mist?
A: Yes, by holding the can very close to the surface and giving a
very short press, it can be used to place a single, small drop of
lubricant with precision.
Q: Is it suitable for lubricating the moving parts of a watch?
A: While the application is gentle enough, we recommend using a
dedicated watchmaker's oiler for horology. This valve is ideal for
larger delicate mechanisms.
Q: Will it clog more easily due to the fine orifice?
A: It is slightly more susceptible to clogging if used with
incompatible thick products. It is designed for use with the
standard, less viscous multi-use product.
Q: Can I use this for standard, heavier-duty tasks?
A: It is not recommended. The valve is engineered for finesse, not
force, and using it for heavy-duty applications could damage the
internal mechanism.
