    Main ingredients, from the material safety data sheet, are:

    * 50%: Stoddard solvent (mineral spirits, also commonly known as dry cleaning solvent)
    * 25%: Liquefied petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant, carbon dioxide is used now to reduce considerable flammability)
    * 15 %: Mineral oil (light lubricating oil)
    * 10-%: Inert ingredients

    The German version of the mandatory EU safety sheet lists the following safety relevant ingredients:

    * 60-80%: Heavy Naphtha (petroleum product), hydrogen treated
    * 1-5%: Carbon dioxide

    if sprayed on toilets and flat surfaces at bars, it dissolves cocain before people can sonrt it, is used all around London, and seems to work really fine.

    Attached is the msg I was sent. However I do wish I worked for them as I may be able to get some money for some nice things for a change.

    Do you have pain in your joints? Spray on WD40 a few times and see how quickly the pain disappears. This is no joke. It is a pain reliever for joint pains.

    it also killls yellowjackets and hornets and is cheaper that insecticide

  10. Charles Rivers on August 7th, 2007

    Um…. I have used WD40 and it really does work wonders. My question is why would they call it WD40?

  11. TJS on August 7th, 2007

    As the info says WD-40 literally stands for Water Displacement, 40th attempt. On the deeper side of thought about your question scientists and people like me with a high IQ have strange minds. We usually look for a unique name when naming something such as a chemical I invented about 13 years ago I called SM2 short for Spot Magic 2nd formula. This can be found at our order page

    my question is, just what did WD39 not do that WD40 does? not remove chewing gum residue? …and did they stop at the 40th attempt? if so, why. maybe WD47 would have cured cancer or something.

  14. ajshields on August 13th, 2007

    i am interested in the range of uses that wd40 appear to have

  15. David Traver Adolphus on August 14th, 2007

    Ah, it’s a crappy lubricant. Many people have discovered that to their dismay, it lacks whatever it is you call that cohesive property that lubricants possess. It’s easily removed from bearing surfaces.

    I just used WD40 to clean the soap scum and water spots on my shower door, AND IT WORKED GREAT!!!

  17. Rob on August 15th, 2007

    Don’t spray WD 40 on electrical things, like electric motors. It can eat through the covering that is on the windings on motors and ruin them

  18. Sexy Lingerie on August 17th, 2007

    wd 40 is amazing, i used it to clean some stuff at my office today

  19. TJS on August 22nd, 2007

    Thanks for all your useful comments guys have you found anymore uses?

  20. Shannon on August 25th, 2007

    if you have stubborn stickers on car windows. take a scraper (like a small one you would use for dry wall) and soak it with WD-40. It scrapes off like butter and since its lubed up, it doesn’t scratch your window if you got a safe blade. even a razor blade would work, but its safer to use the other tool.

    Jack…

    I like the way you have layed it down in this post thanks….

    I was staying in a Condo on Vacation and we had a very loud squeeky bathroom door. Not having any WD-40 I grabbed a can of Pam Cooking spray and it worked like a charm.

  23. TJS on August 28th, 2007

    Since here in Australia we do not really use the Pam Cooking spray what other ideas has anyone got for using it, aside from the obvious?

    We have a product called pure and simple which I assume is similar a vegetable oil spray.

    We have used it for;

    helps to brown chips when sprayed on
    keeps oven shelves moving freely
    Welding flux
    Avoiding overspray
    Releasing molds eg soap
    protects from moisture undersides of chairs
    when rolling out bread dough sprayed on the bench it stops it sticking also helps with a golden crust

    When I think of more I will put them up maybe even make a page.

    I couldn’t understand some parts of this article info emailled | tecacentre.net, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
