WD-40 is awsome! I use the stuff for everything.. clean my teeth with it.

"WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be
catching the big one in no time."

Any self-respecting Mini has a can of WD40 in the boot.. both ours do! :lol:
Apparently it has other uses beyond resuscitating wet dead Minis... :wink:

~Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors
~Keeps scissors working smoothly

~Lubricates gear shift and mower - deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers
~Rids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises
~Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open
~Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close
~Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards and vinyl bumpers
~Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles
~Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans
~Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons and bicycles for easy handling
~Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly
~Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools
~Removes splattered grease on stove
~Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging
~Lubricates prosthetic limbs
~Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell)
~Removes all traces of duct tape
~I have even heard of folks spraying it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.
~Florida's favorite use was "cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers
~The favorite use in the state of New York
~ WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
~WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be
catching the big one in no time. It's a lot cheaper than the chemical
attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using
some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
~Keeps away chiggers on the kids
~Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately, and stops the itch.
~WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
~Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried
a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
~If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.
(If I knew what a distributor cap was, it might help)
~WD-40, long known for its ability to remove leftover tape smunges (sticky label tape),
is also a lovely perfume and air freshener! Sprayed liberally on every hinge in the house,
it leaves that distinctive clean fresh scent for up to two days!
~Seriously though, it removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those
nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have
to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
~Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!


strage :? i olny counted bout 45 :?

enough with the "mini chat" police already. I'm already here for an hour a day - who's got time to go through 4 different forums?

BTW - re employees smuggling stuff from missile factories - My new stepmother's dad was a sharpening specialist (yea specialised purely in sharpening of precission tools and setting thicknesses etc) at a top secret soviet naval factory - they apparently made nuclear submarines (I know, I know George Bush, its spelt "nucelar"). Well anyways he's very serious about the work they did there and still wouldn't expand on any specifics, but soviet workers, even the most valued ones, were paid badly etc. So they extracted their pay by other means. So amongst some of the stuff he brought here there's a shopping trolley, he used to go to the market with- made from solid titanium - kid ya not.

Problem with WD40 is it gums up if you sont wipe it off. The only solution is to add more!! so it's like a roundabout.

I found INOX which differs as it doesnt dry and it is food grade standard so you can eat an egg off the tin roof!!

WD 40 is the stuff of miracles about the only thing it cant do is get rid of them blardy Porn mongers from the youessofA spamming it up
maybe a lighted match and sprayning them with WD40 might work



Flame on :wink:
