Why Does A Wet Cloth Make Opening A Jar Easier ?

I don't know if you're serious about WD40 - I suspect not as it could taint anything foody for yards around. Anyway, it is for usually parts that have corroded slightly - jar lids are just tight with a bit of added vacuum to make things difficult.

maybe you need to be lifting some weights on that treadmill of yours and just open the jar with your muscles.
