What Is The Main Ingredient of WD-40?

Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40?

No Cheating.....

WD-40 ~ Who knew!

I had a neighbour who bought a new pickup.

I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray

painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown

reason).

I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news.

He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do ....

probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open.

Another neighbour came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off.

It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint

job that was on the truck. I was impressed!

WD-40 who knew?

"Water Displacement #40".

The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and

degreaser to protect missile parts.

WD-40 was created in 1953, by three technicians at the San Diego

Rocket Chemical Company.

Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'Water

Displacement' Compound.

They were finally successful for a formulation, with their fortieth

attempt, thus WD-40. The 'Convair Company' bought it in bulk to

protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40

that would hurt you.

When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing

that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic,

it works just as well as on glass. It's a miracle!

Then try it on your stove-top.

It's now shinier than it's ever been.

You'll be amazed.

WD-40 Uses:

17. Lubricates noisy door hinges on both home and vehicles doors.

18. It removes that nasty tar and scuff marks from the kitchen

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.

19. Remove those nasty bug guts that will eat away the finish

on your car if not removed quickly!

20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.

grills and bumpers.'

38. The favourite use in the state of New York , it protects the Statue

of Liberty from the elements.

39. 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. Keep

in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing

are not allowed in some states.

40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and

stops the itch.

41. It is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray it on the marks

and wipe with a clean rag.

42. 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 rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!

43. If you spray it inside a wet distributor cap, it will displace the

moisture, allowing the engine to start.

My discovery, Ants don't like it..................

P.S.

As for that Basic, Main Ingredient.......

Well.... it's FISH OIL....

10 hours, 4 days, $18, and a few bandaids

This method is for removing surface patina rust from stainless steel loom reeds, and assumes you have already prepped the reeds by removing the tape

Equipment

wire brushes (stainless steel and copper)

leather work glove for off hand

eye protection

dust mask (I used a kN95)

Rustoleum rust dissolver jelly

nylon brush for acid gel application (mine came multipack w/ the wire brushes)

flat surface on which to lay the reeds (I suggest waist high so you don't hurt your back)

newspaper or tarp to cover it and the work area if you care about acid drips

clothes you don't care about if they happen to get acid on them (looks like bleach stains)

a bucket or two of water in case of acid spill or skin contact

garden hose to spray off the acid

a sunny day or ventilated space to let the reeds dry

WD-40 silicone spray

Steps & Tips

you might just want the pair of gloves, as all my abrasions are from my dominant hand slicing past the exposed reed ends. Unfortunately I could only find the single glove =/

hold the bristles of the wire brush at 45° to the reed surface

switch out the different wire brushes. Use stainless steel to start, then switch to the softer copper to brush away dust, and to buff. If you can, use an old wire brush whose bristles are bent and tangled to provide more angles of attack on the rust.

in the initial wire brushing, turn the reed over AND flip it upside down, then turn it over AGAIN to get all 4 sides of the reed. You may find this helpful if your wire brushes are new, where the bristles can't get too far in between the reeds with each pass.

also brush lengthwise down the surface of the reeds

use the nylon brush to brush between the reeds before applying the rustoleum gel. No reason, other than you can more easily see how effective the gel is.

apply the gel with the nylon brush. Just dip it right into the jar. Paint a thin line along the edges of the reeds, scrub, then tackle the inside surfaces, as it does drip if there's a lot of it.

coat every surface of the metal you want to address. Flip it over and do the other side, too. Try not to get too much on the string and glue between the reed ends.

it's probably fine if it dries, but it'll be harder to remove with just water. I did one at a time to avoid this.

Power Wash that thing. Both sides. Then set it to dry in a sunny spot. You be the judge if you have to bring it inside overnight.

after a day of drying, repeat the front-back-top-bottom metal brushing. You may want to brush the dried gel from the string interlacements. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't look perfect. Again, use the nylon brush to clear dust.

if you've foregone the mask thus far, you do you, but you might want it for the silicone. It smells, and it hangs in the air. You'll also want newspaper or a tarp for this bit. WD stands for "water displacement" so it's not good to get on plants. I also did this bit wearing the leather glove (it will get silicone on it).

spray the front and back, and if you think you missed a spot (at this point it'll be soaked, that's unlikely) flip it over and do the front and back again. Prop it up to dry.

Miraculous! The high-powered spray whisked away all the remaining surface rust, leaving metal that looks like metal and not a shipwreck on the ocean floor.

I'm going to wait a day or two before applying new tape, just to be sure that the string wrap is completely dry. Then to warp a short junk piece to check for burrs and clean any residue. 🤞

=D color me pleasantly surprised

Proper Clock Lubrication: Essential Tips and Techniques
