Thanks for the list Mike.
And thanks for the heads up on the true ingredients Big Woo.
Fishbuck, seems like you've opened a whole new bunch of possibilities with the date thing.

Some more common uses Mike left off his list...
1. underarm spray...drives the girls crazy!
2. used on cornflakes...makes em' slide right down.
3. keeps your AK-47 shiny and bright.
4. coating your rear license plate makes the photo fuzzy when you run a red light at one of those photo ticket intersections.
5. gives the dogs a bright and shiny coat.
6. great fun watching the c-ckroaches do the 'slip and slide' on the sprayed floor in the evening.
7. keeps your toothbrush bristles from sticking together.
8. sprayed on your body before going in the pool will give the surface that great 'oil spill', multi-colored sheen.
9. great on pancakes when you happen to run out of syrup.
10. great practical joke possibilities when used on the pole at the local firehouse.
11. can you say, 'Pizza Topping'?
12. what do you think gives theater popcorn that real buttery taste?
13. keeps the pool moisture off Michael Phelps gold medals.
14. lubes the ice cube trays for easy cube removal.
15. sprayed on discarded Tecate cans for greater reflective effect along Baja Hwy 1.
16. has shown promise in reducing tumors in mice.
17. is rumored to have been used by the Chinese on the gymnast's balance beam at the Olympics prior to the USA team's performance this week.
18. motorcycle riders use it to keep the bugs from sticking to their teeth.
19. Aardvark repellent when poured around one's sleeping bag in the outback.
20. used by pirates as throat spray to amplify the 'R' in ARRRRRRR, Mate!

NOT ON THE LIST...A COUPLE OF MY FAVORITE USES
1. Spray on the threads of Light Bulbs before screwing them in. Makes them very easy to unscrew. Works especially well on lights in damp or outdoor
locations which can get rusty threads.
2. Spray on stubborn Price Tags to help remove sticky residue, or spray on any other type of sticky residue from labels, etc.
Also...a friend had heard you could spray on Bee Stings to ease the pain. It seemed to work pretty well.
Happy Spraying, Miguelamo

After I go shooting I spray my weapons with WD-40 in the areas where the carbon builds up. It scrubs right off.

And, I eventually discovered that was true.
We all love to use it, but did you ever notice that we have to keep on using it?
My F150 tailgate was sticking after my last Baja run, went down and bot some of the new silicone spray, and VOILA!!!
That stuff works, and it lasts.
WD40 **RIP** |
You are right ....
WD-40 is a "penetrating" oil , NOT a lubricating oil ..
First penetrate, then lubricate

Liquid Wrench is far superior for penetration.
Silicon spray is far superior for lubrication.
but then, that probably was not your intent, so you can ignore my thoughts....

You will have to ask the other guy what he is discussing,
he is not always "on topic"
IMHO

I am surprised that no one has mentioned the mexican knock off marketed in mexico...same colors on the can but it's called DW-50......I didn't notice
it until a few days later when using it at the house...too funny
