Subject: Fw: 43 Things You Can Do With WD-40

Apparently my cousin doesn’t have anything better to do than pass email along…..guess I will also ….I do have something to do.

I liked the one… WD40 to keep flies off cows. Didn’t know they cared….this is why they have long tails to swat them J.    I do use it to remove road tar from the car…have for years.

I know some of these work because I have tried them.  I just haven't tried all of them.  MJ

What is the main ingredient of WD-40?

Does anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40 is?  Don't lie and don't cheat.  WD-40.  Who knew; I had 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.

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 40th 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.
