SRC Member peacemaker Posted November 18, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted November 18, 2010 Try applying Vaseline. Dismantle the whole hinge and give it a good coat including the screws before fixing it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gouldian Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Yup, one of the many uses of vaseline. For more, please see http://www.wackyuses.com/vaseline.html Beside the uses stated in the link above, vaseline can be used to prevent silicone from sticking to your fingers.

SRC Member iskay Posted November 19, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted November 19, 2010 Corrosion is a natural event. You can only delay it, not prevent it. Vaseline or oil regularly. You can also consider getting high-quality stainless hinges and screws. Quote "Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.

SRC Member DUCADOS Posted November 21, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted November 21, 2010 Corrosion is a natural event. You can only delay it, not prevent it. Vaseline or oil regularly. You can also consider getting high-quality stainless hinges and screws. normal stainless steel item sold in the market like fork,spoon I'll say they r made of 316 stainless steel. So for the hinges as well. If u looking for high quality type I dun think there's any available in the market. Anyway even the pure stainless Steel(302) rust when contacted with seawater after sometime. So conclusion: the only way is to grease it,maintain it n when time to change,change regularly Quote Some1 doesn't 1 2 do anything find an excuse,some1 1 2 do something find a mean!

SRC Member desideria Posted November 29, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted November 29, 2010 Just smear WD40 or is it WB40 .. I know it's W <something> 40 ( can't remember right now)... on the hinges.. it's in a spray can so what I did was spray it on a piece of cloth away from the tank and then rubbed it on my hinges and then open up all the cabinet doors to let the tank "air" a while... of course I stood by to make sure "quick hand quick feet" to pick up any fish which MAY jump during the time of "airing".. You can get it at the DIY shops. Quote Cheers, Desi Sheldon (TBBT): A little misunderstanding? Galileo and the Pope had a little misunderstanding...

SRC Member peacemaker Posted November 29, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted November 29, 2010 Its WD40, Desi. Unfortunately, it dries up after some time, and you will have to keep spraying. Someone once told me that it also has corrosive properties, so do use it sparingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get it at the DIY shops. Maybe you got imitation product so it read wB40. frequent oiling will prevent rust. the problem is such manual touch points tends to become infrequent over time so rust sets in...
