WD-40 some things you might not know about it....

Subject: WD-40


Its real name: Water Displacement #40. (WD 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.

The workers were so pleased with the product, they began smuggling (also
known as "shrinkage" or "stealing") it out to use at home. The executives
decided there might be a consumer market for it and put it in aerosol cans.
The rest, as they say, is history.

It is a carefully guarded recipe known only to four people. Only one of
them is the "brew master". There are out 2.5 million gallons of the stuff
manufactured each year. It gets its distinctive smell from a fragrance that
is added to the brew. 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 is 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...Voila! It is now shinier than it has ever
been. You will be amazed.

Here are some of the uses:

-- Protects silver from tarnishing.

-- Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.

-- Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery.

-- Keeps flies off cows.

-- Restores and cleans chalkboards.

-- Removes lipstick stains.

-- Loosens stubborn zippers.

-- Untangles jewelry chains.

-- Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.

-- Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.

-- Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.

-- Removes tomato stains from clothing.

-- Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.

-- Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.

-- Keeps scissors working smoothly.

-- Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes.

-- Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.

-- Lubricates gearshift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on
riding mowers.

-- Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises.

-- Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to
open.

-- Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.

-- Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as
vinyl bumpers.

-- Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.

-- Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.

-- Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons and bicycles for easy
handling.

-- Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running
smoothly.

-- Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.

-- Removes splattered grease on stove.

-- Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.

-- Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).

-- Removes all traces of duct tape.

-- Folks even spray it on their arms, hands and knees to relieve
arthritis pain.

-- Florida's favorite use is "cleans and removes love bugs from grills
and bumpers".

-- The favorite use in the state of New York--WD-40 protects the Statue
of Liberty from the elements.

-- 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 is 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.

-- Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and
stops the itch.

WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe
with a clean rag.

Also, if you have discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and
dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots
with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!

If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the
moisture and allow the car to start.

It removes black scuffmarks from the kitchen floor!

Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It does not
seem to harm the finish and you will not have to scrub nearly as hard to get
them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of  marks.

Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use
WD-40!

P.S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL
