cowpuc Posted May 16, 2018 #1 Posted May 16, 2018 but how do you get the drip to drop??? Especially when your talking about about being in a total bind and needing just that one little tad of WD40 at just that one special moment in time.... This may help...
dfitzbiz Posted May 16, 2018 #2 Posted May 16, 2018 Thanks for this great tip Puc! I've always found it easier to stick a wet noddle up as wildcat's A$$ than to put just a drop of WD anywhere. Keep the good info coming.
Sylvester Posted May 16, 2018 #3 Posted May 16, 2018 I typically spray it all over everything and then cuss and then wipe up the mess .
slowrollwv Posted May 16, 2018 #4 Posted May 16, 2018 Puc I know there is a 1,000 uses for that stuff but myself I hate it. I prefer JB 80 or White lithium for that little lube job. For rust penetration I have used a mix of Acetone and transmission fluid mixed 50/50.
s.tyler58 Posted May 16, 2018 #5 Posted May 16, 2018 I was fascinated to learn the WD-40 is not a lubricant but a solvent! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Eck Posted May 16, 2018 #6 Posted May 16, 2018 I was fascinated to learn the WD-40 is not a lubricant but a solvent! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Myth: WD-40® Multi-Use Product is not really a lubricant. Fact: While the “W-D” in WD-40® stands for Water Displacement, WD-40® Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants. The product’s formulation also contains anti-corrosion agents and ingredients for penetration, water displacement and soil removal. WHAT'S STODDARD SOLVENT? Myth: WD-40® contains Stoddard Solvent. Fact: Over the past few decades, the name Stoddard Solvent was synonymous with all mineral spirits. Today, the mineral spirits found in products like ours are more refined and processed (see hydrogenation, hydrotreating and distillation techniques) providing mixtures with varying boiling points, cleaning ability, and chemical composition. The catchall phrase “Stoddard Solvent” is no longer adequate to tell the proper story. WD-40® does indeed have 50% mineral spirits, but they are refined and purified for specific characteristics needed to meet today’s performance, regulatory and safety requirements. Myth: WD-40® cures arthritis. Fact: This popular headline, appearing at least once a year in the tabloids, is completely FALSE. WD-40 Company does not recommend the use of WD-40® for medical purposes, and knows no reason why WD-40® would be effective for arthritis pain relief. WD-40® contains petroleum distillates and should be handled with the same precautions for any product containing this type of material. MORE FUN FACTS ABOUT WD-40® A bus driver in Asia used WD-40® to remove a python, which had coiled itself around the undercarriage of his bus. Police officers used WD-40® to remove a naked burglar trapped in an air conditioning vent. Crayola® Stain Removal Tips recommends using WD-40® to remove (regular) crayon marks from a variety of surfaces. The WD-40® Book, featuring many user testimonials and the wacky humor of Jim & Tim, The Duct Tape GuysTM, was published in 1997.

As The Duct Tape Guys say, “You only need two tools in life, Duct Tape® and WD-40®. If it’s not stuck and it’s supposed to be, Duct Tape it. If it’s stuck and it’s not supposed to be, WD-40® it.”
