Wd-40

I noticed it when I sprayed a bunch of rusty hooks I had with the WD-40, then went fishing! Worked like a charm. My dad says that Patchouli oil and almond oil also works, but never tried those . . .
 
WD-40 is the stuff of legend, it's true, but not all of the legends themselves are true. A little research for you:

WD-40 does not contain kerosene, according to the manufacturer's website. It's also safe for painted surfaces.

WD-40 Frequently Asked Questions

WD-40 is mostly solvents and mineral oil, and is safe to use on your motorcycle chain, according to wikipedia.

As others have indicated, it's perfectly safe to use on most parts of your bike; however, for lubrication, there are specialty lubricants out there that are better tools for the job.

It will also make you stronger, smarter, and much better-looking, but I couldn't confirm those rumors. ;)

C'mon man, even high schoolers are learning not to reference Wikipedia. Darn open source sites. I may just go on there to make a page for me. See how many ladies I can pick up with stories I make up about myself. :rof:

To the OP, I used to swear by WD-40, but then I learned about PB Blaster (and now Kroil). WD-40 just doesn't work all that well for most of the stuff i want to do. I keep a can of it around for house jobs, but past that, it sits.
 
yeah, the old timers used to call it "weasel piss". It works well to move water out, but if you use it on a gun, you'll see rust in a few days.

I use it to clean the chain, and sometimes for cleaning sticker-goo.

Only if you huff it.

Dude, are you guys serious about the fishing? Are we only talking about bait? I imagine if you're trolling or otherwise using lures it would wash off pretty quickly?

I also imagine the environmental types (among which I would count myself) would probably also point out that it's probably not a good thing to put that stuff in the water; then again, it can't be *that* much right? Your fish might taste a little funny. :Flash:
