Default WD-40 and Fish Oil?

Learned this today............that WD-40 is made with fish oil.

Looked at what else learned today, the uses for WD-40

===================================
Quotes:
And they say Duct tape has a lot of uses!

Subject: WD-40


I had a neighbor who had 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 neighbor 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'm 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 successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.

The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts. (I suspect that's actually the Convair Corporation — previously known as Consolidated Aircraft, and now known as General Dynamics. — Jim)
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 glass. It's a miracle!

Then try it on your stove top... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

Here are some of the uses for WD-40


1) Protects silver from tarnishing.


2) Removes road tar and grime from cars.


3) Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.


4) Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery.


5) Keeps flies off cows


6) Restores and cleans chalkboards.


7) Removes lipstick stains.


8) Loosens stubborn zippers.


9) Untangles jewelry chains.


10) Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.


11) Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.


12) Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.


13) Removes tomato stains from clothing.


14) Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.


15) Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.


16) Keeps scissors working smoothly.


17) Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes



18) 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.


19) Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!


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


21) Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers.


22) Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises.


23) Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open.


24) Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close


25) Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as vinyl bumpers.


26) Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.


27) Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.


28) Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy handling.


29) Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly.


30) Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.


31) Removes splattered grease on stove


32) Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.


33) Lubricates prosthetic limbs.


34) Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).


35) Removes all traces of duct tape.


36) Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.


37) Florida's favorite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers.'


38) The favorite use in the state of New York WD-40 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) WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark 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 re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!


43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.

P.S. Basic ingredient is Fish Oil

I think he means the fish oil part is wrong.

Exclamation Yep !!

that's all been discussed a couple of times before, and consensus says that WD-40 is a "solvent" meant to lubricate & remove moisture ... not as a fish attractant. It's a petroleum based product, and therefore considered a pollutant when introduced into our fishing waters.

I did find it interesting that #39 doesn't show up on the "updated" list that shows on the Snopes rebuttal. And, as I've posted before, the mfg of WD-40 has put out a disclaimer statement that, basically, says ... they don't recommend it for use as a fish attractant.

And, when you look at the MSDS for WD-40 .... there's no mention of "fish oils" as an ingredient. It's basically Stoddard Solvent (dry cleaning solvent) and petroleum distillates (oil).
