I remember well DMSO.. I think all the farmboys knew of it's usefulness at easing arthritic joints. My uncle had a horse that he would have stand with his forelegs in a bucket of a DMSO solution when he had troubles walking.

It was a floor cleaner if I remember right?? Very low specific gravity too.. that's all I remember tho...

I KNOW that WD-40 will wash away any protective layer of lubricant. I won't let it in my shop and my folks make sure to get me a can each Xmas! I must have 6 or 8 of them here at the house, I use it on the snowblower after each use, that way the chute doesn't freeze in place..
