Welcome

Great Uses for WD 40

Who knew? Great info to share.
An email.

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. 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 wascreated 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...' IT IS MADE FROM FISH OIL' 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.

41) WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.

laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
43) If you spray WD-40 on the distributor cap, it will displace the moisture and allow the car to start.

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
Remember, the basic ingredient is FISH OIL

Most oil is made from fish oil.

5) Keeps flies off cows.


What kind of guy would think of that. Like: "Darn there are many flies in the field. I think I'll spray the cows with WD 40..."

:D

a great list Carol!

these past two months I had to trim my pine trees my
neighbor gave me a name of a person that would have been the right man for the job!
he was too busy,


my next stop was to buy an electric saw. Not the big one! the just 100.00USD cordless that it is easy to manage.

I did cut all branches coming close to the house.
The result? my hands were all with sap from the pine trees.

WD40 did the job!
no alcohol to dry the skin,
no chemicals
and no embarrassing marks that made me looked that I was physically abused!
WD40 was the miracle solution, I love it!

PS I am copying this list too! :smile:
I love you!

It makes a good flame thrower.

Dacotah 7. September 2008, 03:55

:eyes: :D

eagle4eyes 7. September 2008, 23:48

works great on removing from the bottom of your shoe. :D Will have to try the flame thrower idea. :yes:

Dacotah 8. September 2008, 00:13

Sabell 8. September 2008, 13:28

Mmm, fish oil? I take fish oil for heart health...so now a spray of WD40 under the tongue can replace that? :lol:

:sst: Clint's a slut? Mmmm

Dacotah 8. September 2008, 13:37

I take fish oil for my eyes.
:lol:

:sst: :yes: he's a slut. :D

Furie 8. September 2008, 15:14

For your eyes? This whole fish oil health trend is getting annoying now. I saw a tin of hot dogs emblazoned with "Now With Omega 3" which is fish oil. And right next to it on the shelf was canned fish. If you really need something at least get it from the source eh?

rose-marie 8. September 2008, 16:04

I just had to check my can of WD40, but it doesn't have any table of contents... I had no idea you could do all this stuff with it, but it does say it's for a thousand things around work and home (in Swedish and Norwegian. In Danish it says it has endless possibilites...) :D

Dacotah 8. September 2008, 16:27

My eye doctor told me to take it Mik because I lost all my protective coating around my eyes.

Dacotah 8. September 2008, 16:28

Hi Rose-Marie, now you know. :D

Sabell 8. September 2008, 17:19

:sst: I know he is a flirt, but calling him a slut is really harsh.

Dacotah 8. September 2008, 19:06

:sst: Mik jokingly called him one, than Cois asked me how do I know he is, so I teased him back saying by the comments he's made about all the women he's been with. Than he said I got him on that one. :smile:

Dacotah 8. September 2008, 19:07

:sst:Its true! :lol:

I always have a way of seeing things differently. :irked:

Cois 8. September 2008, 22:55

We sluts know each other and should stick together.. :happy:

Dacotah 8. September 2008, 23:35

:lol: :yes: You do Cois. p: :D

Furie 8. September 2008, 23:54
