!warning! I've Found A New Use For Wd-40


Recommended Posts

Rumor has it, or I heard someone say years ago, WD40 was developed by NASA and stands for Water Dissipater formula #40. Haven't used that stuff since I discovered PB Blaster.

"WD-40 is the trademark name of a penetrating oil and water-displacing spray. It was developed in 1953 by Norm Larsen, founder of the Rocket Chemical Company, in San Diego, California. WD-40, abbreviated from the phrase "Water Displacement, 40th formula,"[1] was originally designed to repel water and prevent corrosion,[2] and later was found to have numerous household uses."

WD40 sucks. It draws moisture from the air and rusts everything. Hell, it isn't even worth a a crap at loosening bolts.

It sure is good for removing sticker adhesive off the outside of laptops. Works awesome. I keep a 'travel' size can for just this purpose.
