Ah, yes, the venerable Water Displacement Formula #40! This magical liquid has come to my aid numerous times, and had it never been invented I would be leaving a slimy, slippery trail of 3-in-1 behind me wherever I go ...
 
Oh yes WD40 has a multitude of uses in my home ...I've tried a few, can't guarantee all of them will work but...here's a list..

However here are 5 things you should never use WD40 0n...apparently..


[h=2][/h] 1. Door hinges. Sure, WD-40 will stop the squeaking, but it also attracts dust and dirt. Over time, you'll end up with ugly black streaks on your hinges.
2. Bike chains. WD-40 can cause dirt and dust to stick to a chain. Use bike specific lubricants which typically contain Teflon.

3. Paintball guns. WD-40 can melt the seals

4. Locks. The spray can prematurely wear down the internal mechanisms, especially in the pin tumbler locks, in door locks and padlocks. Go for graphite powder.
5. iPods and iPads. WD-40 won't repair the Home button on these devices. In fact, the spray can cause the plastic to break down on the cover, and if some gets inside the electronics, it can damage plastic parts inside.
 
I think it's still being made, Pappy, probably because there are some applications that it's better for.

But WD-40, man ... best thing for removing duct tape residue from your body.

... don't ask how I know that ... :anonymous:
 
“All of life’s problems can be solved with two things—duct tape and WD40. If it moves and it shouldn’t, you need duct tape. And if it doesn’t move and it should, you need WD40.”—Unknown
 
What's the difference?

WD-40® literally stands for Water Displacement, 40th formula. That's the name straight out of the lab book used by the chemist who developed the product back in 1953. The chemist, Norm Larsen, was attempting to concoct a formula to prevent corrosion—a task which is done by displacing water. Norm's persistence paid off when he perfected the formula on his 40th try.


3-IN-ONE was developed in 1894 for use on bicycles. The inventor, George Cole, was hoping to create a product that would lubricate, clean and prevent rust. Those three functions in one product led to the name.

The Manual - The truth about WD-40

It's not rocket science...


Actually, it is. WD-40 was invented in 1953 by Norm Larsen, founder of the Rocket Chemical Company, to stop condensation and corrosion occuring in the umbilical cord of the Atlas space rocket. There were 39 formulas before Water Displacement Formula 40 hit paydirt and won the tender. But it wasn't until 1969 that the company changed its name to WD-40, after its miracle product. And it's still used in space now.
