WD-40 was invented in 1953 at the Rocket Chemical Company in
San Diego. It was the 40th attempt at making a lubricant that
would stop rust on missiles. And there is nothing in WD-40 that
is harmful or caustic. In case you didn’t know, the main
ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil.
It also has uses other than loosening tight bolts. If you
somehow get over-spray, or graffiti on your vehicle, WD-40 will
remove the new paint and not harm the old.
WD-40 will also-
protect silver from tarnishing
remove road tar off car bodies
lubricate guitar strings
clean chalkboards
remove lipstick stains, and tomato stains from clothes
stop water spots on shower doors
remove scuff marks from hard floors
take squished bugs off the front of your vehicle
restore padded leather dashboards
stop squeaks in electric fans
clean grease splatters from the stove-top
keep bathroom mirrors from fogging
repel pigeons as they hate the smell
remove duct tape residue
it attracts fish and can be sprayed on live bait
help ease itching with fire ant bites
take crayon marks off walls
and a lot more.
We buy it in the gallon size and put it in spray bottles. For
a bonus tip, if you get tar on your pants spray the area with
this stuff and leave it set a while before washing. When you
take the pants out of the washer, the tar is gone.
Enjoy our Monday. We have to get ready for Tuesday anyway.
Now I leave in search of food as it has been a busy day.
Comments are always welcome.
A great list to have.
Grumpa Joe,
thanks. It is a keeper.
