As I said in another post I wiped the excess on the GigE and have never noticed any dust. The WD-40.com /uses-tips/ web page points to 2000 uses. I have seen it used to dry wet Spark Plug wires and in a pinch it can be sprayed around vacuum lines in the Auto engine Compartment to check for leaks. I have used it to remove Roofing Compound from hands and tools.
