USEFUL INFORMATION about WD-40. !

Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40 is? Don't lie and don't cheat.

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 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. 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 stove top ... Viola! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

WD-40 uses:

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 has
washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry,
saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto!
The lipstick is gone!
43. If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would
displace the moisture and allow the car to start.

And ........

A neighbor who 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.

P..S. The basic ingredient is FISH Oil



Wow, bet I forget all that ...
