Thread: Wd-40

Tweet

Sitting here with a can of wd-40 in my hand that is so old it is still uses CFC's as a propellent. Ingredients- petroleum distillates. No mention of voodoo, black magic or fish oil. Get some in your mouth and you will taste kerosene not coho salmon. Best use- works well as a plug for the exhaust hose hole in the garage door.

This is what's in WD-40 from their MSDS ( http://www.wd40company.com/files/pdf...d447382569.pdf )

Ingredient CAS Number Percent:
Aliphatic Petroleum Distillates
45-50%

Petroleum Base Oil
30-35%

Non-Hazardous Ingredients - Proprietary <10%

Surfactant - Proprietary <2%

Carbon Dioxide 124-38-9 2-3%

No fish oil in this or Rustolem.

As far as a lubricant, there are lots which are better. As a water displacer, works great. I always have at least a couple of cans available

Yeah, I quit spraying it on my salads years ago when they changed the recipes!

No joke if you use vinegar on your salad you may be getting a little petroleum, check it out.

Good to know Larry. My neighbor's trailer was tagged recently, I'll let him know.

Man, vinegar, petroleum, isn't anything safe any more!!

Always have duct tape, wd-40, pb blaster, and visegrips and you can fix anything
For all those die hard visegrip dudes you might be intersted in this
