WD-40 is not necessarily lubricant. It is a water displacement. So it moves the water away to keep rust from setting up. The best thing you could use his either sewing machine oil or white lithium grease, which also comes in a spray can. The same area is WD-40 sold

Sewing machine oil is not recommended as its qualities are for sewing machine parts to move in a way that is more sticky. You want lubricant for the gun, so knitting machine oil is better. However, I think the DW40 is good and probably easier to find. Clean the fluff out thoroughly after each use before oiling. Spatula.

The best Tufting gun oil I’ve used is gun oil. Like the kind for firearms…Rem oil, Hoppes 9, Lucas. Also just like…a few drops of car motor oil works well too. Don’t complicate it too much…as long as it’s lubricant meant for lots of mechanical friction, and doesn’t have any detergents, you’re good to go.
