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's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose.

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

If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start. It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor. Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks. It won't harm the finish and you won't have to scrub hard. 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 |

Water Displacer that is good for as cold as -40.why do you think it is called "WD-40"?fluid film stinks BUT works real good on loosening metal stuff.i swear by fluid film. |

It will also detangle horses manes and tails
|
|
|
|
BUT DOES IT REMOVE LIPSTICK STAINS OFF OF STUBBORN ZIPPERS???
|
|
|
|
if it works with horses hair and manes I wonder if it would help with a
humans long hair? lol. nyone willing to try it? |
|
|
|
Best way to get those big burrs out of the horses tails and manes also
works like a charm and leaves there mane and tail shinning |

|
|
|
I tried using it to get those ugly black burnt looking spots off my
glass top stove and it didn't work so well. I read that it would clean it somewhere. |
|
|
|
That really is good to know!
Im not sure about the "keeping flies of cows one" Haha |

ChristianCountryGirl: Try using those Mr. Clean White Erasers for those stubborn spots on your stove. These work great too! |

If I use WD-40 on my ex-husband will it make him go away for good?
|
|
|
|
Ty on the stove cleaining and ya know I was thinking if the wd40 makes
the horse mane and tail all shiny - will it work on the rest of the horse? And if so - I would assume you would apply it after putting the saddle on - otherwise it would be like armoralling your stearing wheel and then trying to drive - LOLOL |

put on fishing lures and the fish bite more!
|
|
|

ok but remember it also build's up and periodically need's to be removed
from some of these thing's but yes it is great for crayon and scuff mark's and starting car's [spray it in the carb]or drying the dist. excellent for removing sticky stuff i.e. duct tape stickers etc.. i don't recommend it for hinges and such[squeek's ]just use old fashioned grease you won't need to clean it off and it last's along time too |

WD-40 works great as a lubricator for things like door hinges, fan
motors, etc. However, it will evaporate and doesn’t continue to lubricate for a long time. But here’s a tip: If you spray WD-40 into something like a hinge or bearing first, before adding a drop of regular motor oil, the WD-40 will help the regular oil find its way deeper into the bearing surfaces. And then the regular oil will keep it lubricated for a longer time. Often if you just put the drop of regular oil on it, the oil won’t penetrate as deeply on its own. So it’s good to use the combination, because the WD-40 by itself won’t last nearly as long as the regular oil before it evaporates. Together they solve both problems. WD-40 goes on first, then the drop of regular oil. |

I've used it to remove tape glue crap from windows after banners
etc have been scotched taped on the glass... |

I didn't know about the fishing. I'll give it a try.
Did you know the best thing to loosen pliers, side cuts, and needle nose pliers is lighter fluid? It cleans real well; and provides a little lubricant. |
