Wd-40

[rufus]

I DIDN'T KNOW ALL THIS. HANDY TO PRINT OUT AND KEEP
SOMEWHERE.

A lady got up very early one morning and went outside to
pickup the Sunday paper, she noticed someone had sprayed red paint all around the sides of the neighbors brand new beige truck. She went over and woke him up and gave him the bad news. He was, of course extremely upset.

And they stood there trying to figure out what could be
done about the problem. They decided there wasn't much recourse but to wait until Monday, since nothing was open. Just then another neighbor came out of his house, surveyed the situation and immediately went to get his WD-40 out and cleaned the red paint off with it. Guess What! It cleaned up that paint without harming the original paint on the truck! I'm impressed!!

Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search
for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect Missile
parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three Technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.
The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is
nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you....' IT IS MADE FROM FISHOIL'
.. When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first
thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It is a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... It is now shinier than it has ever been before.

moisture and allow the car to start.

Keep a can of WD-40 in your kitchen cabinet. It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the burned feeling away and heals with NO scarring.

Remember, the basic ingredient is FISH OIL

Not to mention it's been known to loosen up stiff knee and elbow joints. :lol:

 

[lone wolf]

It is great stuff for giving your old dashboard a new look. Armorall is a silicone base that expands and makes cracks bigger.

It cleans tires

Spray it around door seals and into keyholes and they won't freeze up

 

[tracy]

My tool kit when I first left home consisted of duct tape and WD40. If it shouldn't move but it does, use the duct tape. If it should move but it doesn't, use the WD40.

 

[MHz]

You forgot tooth-paste.

 

[#juan]

I've kept a can of Wd-40 in the garage for about forty years. I've used it mainly as a penetrating oil to loosen up rusted nuts and bolts. I never would have considered most of these other uses. Keeping flies off cows? You would think that fish oil would attract flies...

 

[MHz]

Maybe you stand beside the cow and spray them as they fly past, the wd messes up their flying ability and presto a new item for the list. I'm not sure I would spray down the silverware either.

Just checked it out- quite a bit of B.S. there, about 500 of them could be eliminated by the single phrase "stops squeaks between metal moving parts"

 

[MHz]

temporarily "stops squeaks between metal moving parts", so does lard and it don't wash away. (if indoors only use brand new lard otherwise everybody will be asking where the doughnuts are....for weeks on end)

I've done that, screen door. Stopped, never started again!

My uncle used to spray right on his skin when his back went out. whatever works. :lol:

Doesn't work long for squeaks does it. Gets black stuff all over the wall too even when you are very careful. 3 in 1 oil works much better. I did use WD40 to get marine paint out of my son's hair once though. Worked great.

 

[JLM]

And I wouldn't advise using it for locks either may solve a problem in the short term but just causes grief in the long term.

Use something as a backdrop when spraying towards a wall or spray a bit into a small cap and dip s cue-tip in and use that do apply the wd to the pin, or have a cloth handy and spay without care and give some areas a quick wipe with a soapy solution.

Real butter will break down petroleum products, has to be the real fat or it doesn't work.
Buttered popcorn might work and the corn-part might actually help in the scrubbing action.

 

[hermite]

For squeaks and rust I prefer Fluid Film. Experience has shown it to be more effective and long-lasting. Costs more, though. (Disclaimer - I do not work for, nor am I being paid by, Fluid Film, the miracle product.)

Funny. Every can of Wd-40 I've ever had came with a little plastic tube that let you pin point the stuff into a keyhole or whatever. As I said earlier, I have only used Wd-40 as a penetrating oil or to unstick rusted bolts or nuts but it appears there are a few more uses.

 

[rufus]

We use it in the back of the field to eliminate poison ivy. It neutralizes the poison toxins in the leaves and the plant withers and dies.

Boiling water on the leaves also inhibits growth, a big hollow spike hooked upto a steamer can inject steam straight at the roots, more effective that steaming the leaves but also more work. When withered burn to create steam. That works for lots of weeds

God bless the missile industry........and WD 40.

"They" say it acts as a fish attractant, and one should coat one's lures with a copious quantity.

I say, "you try it first", cause it would stink up the whole tackle box. :angry3:And......if it don't work...........:-(, one, would have to chuck all them spensive lures.
