Some great tips for uses of WD-40, I;ve used #39 on my lures and it does indeed make the lure a slayer on the fish... :thumbsup:

Interesting!!! A refresher course--who knew?

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 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...' 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.

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".
 
When I was still working, all the guys on our crew had their own can of WD-40. We used it more for cleaning different things than for lube. We would aften be working somewhere alone so each had his own can. This was on all phases of
carpentry. I keep a can in my utility room and in the garage where my workshop is. It is a pretty good cleaner on hard surfaces but it will leave a slight stain on bare wood.

#25 --- only if you have leather. If it's vinyl, it will cause it to break down and split. Mink oil is a better solution for Leather. Wipe on, buff off like shining shoes. A vinyl protectant (armorall, son-of-a-gun, etc) is better for vinyl because it has NO OILS. Any kind of oil - even the oils in your skin - will eventually make vinyl (most dashes are actually vinyl, unless you drive a foriegn or upper level US made car) break down which causes it to crack and split.
 
I keep a can in my car so when when my door hinges start to make noise I just spray them. We also use it to kill bees and hornets. Works faster and better than Raid and is alot cheaper.

Aqua Net hairspray works the best for bees & wasps, even though I never heard the end of the hairspray in my work truck jokes.

Hillbilly toolkit.
If it doesn't move & it should, WD-40
If it moves & it shouldn't Duct Tape.
All you need!

Duct Tape is like the FORCE...
It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
 
10) Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.

Isn't that an oxymoron?
