  • Wd-40

    This may have been posted before ......BUT can we add to it's uses...........


    WD-40 I had a neighbor who had bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do ( probably nothing ) until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I'm impressed! WD-40 who knew?
    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 Corvair 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.
    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's a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
    Here are some of the uses
    1) Protects silver from tarnishing.
    2) Removes road tar and grime from cars.
    3) Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
    4) Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery.
    5) Keeps flies off cows.
    6) Restores and cleans chalkboards.
    7) Removes lipstick stains.

    18) It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
    19) Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!
    20) Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.

    30) Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
    31) Removes splattered grease on stove.

    33) Lubricates prosthetic limbs.

    37) Florida 's favorite use is: "cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers."
    38) The favorite use in the state of New York WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
    39) WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in
    mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
    40) Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
    41) WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
    42) Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
    43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.
    P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.
    P. P. S. I keep a can of WD-40 in my kitchen cabinet over the stove.
    It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the burned
    feeling away and heals with NO scarring

    PS, don't know if all above is true though...

    You left out one than I know to be true (to my cost)

    After about 6 weeks the solvent in WD40 will evaporate leaving a hard varnish like substance behind. In most circumstances this won't matter but if you happen to use WD40 to clean and lubricate a piece of precision engineering (for instance the trigger mechanism of a high quality target pistol such as the Walther GSP) then after the requisite 6 weeks the pistol will consistently malfunction causing an individual to retire from not one but two International Pistol matches !

    Once you discover the cause of the malfunction it will take approximately 2 hours to strip down, clean, reassemble and setup the trigger mechanism .....

        It's also a very effective contraceptive - if I've been using it she won't let me get anywhere near her !

            I go sea fishing with a guy who sprays his bait with it. says it leaves a slick of oil that the fish can sense and improves his catch rate.I am not to sure tho.

              You can use it like back to black on plastic bumpers as well, also sometimes very good at removering sticky remains of stickers on anything.

              It's amazing stuff for sure

                A can of WD-40 makes a good flame-thrower.

                You should avoid using WD-40 on anything that requires lubrication. WD-40 is volatile and will dry to nothing in short while. Worse still you will have washed out any real grease or oil that was in the mechansim when you spayed it on!!

                Always use spray grease or proper oil for lube jobs- WD-40 has ruined many a mechanism over the years.

                  It is very good for lifting crap and leaving a shiny finish. It used to be a favourite in some workshops for cleaning the cabinets.
