fatrajah Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 WD-40 is a good all-rounder, but I've found Plus-Gas is better for freeing rusted parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apelike Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 It's excellent for removing sticky labels and the glue residue they leave behind. Try white spirit instead, not a lingering smell and possibly cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Exhaust bolts are a pretty tough test for anything.

lazarus Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Who told you that? Man in't pub? Myth: WD-40® Multi-Use Product is not really a lubricant. Fact: While the “W-D” in WD-40® stands for Water Displacement, WD-40® Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants. The product’s formulation also contains anti-corrosion agents and ingredients for penetration, water displacement and soil removal. http://wd40.com/cool-stuff/myths-legends-fun-facts Water Displacement true and the 40 is the 40th formula that was tried and worked.

harvey19 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 The push button flush on our toilet was not working properly and I envisaged having to buy a new flush unit. An experienced builder advised me to spray it with WD40. It has worked faultlessly since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francypants Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I used a combination of oil and WD40 on removing my bottom ball joint, Oooo ..... that sounds painful, hope you're alright ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 WD-40 is a solvent, not a lubricant. Nah, it doesn't dissolve dirt, it just lubricates, and causes more dirt to get stuck to it... that's why you shouldn't use it for switches and dials (as lots of people do) because as it dries, more dust will get caught and cause it to cake up and clogg... Seen it numerous times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
