List of what WD-40 is good for. Amazing how many things it works on.
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.
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
stovetop...Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed

While I wouldn't use it for all of the things listed I used it a few years ago to restore a retro sideboard. My grandpa had used it in his workshop and the formica top had globs of paint and glue (the toxic cement kind). The WD40 worked in getting it all off!
This is such a funny thread...proesthetic limbs, huh? I don't know why that one gave me a chuckle.
My husband will love the idea of attracting fish. Or, maybe I won't tell him and just sneak a can on the boat for myself....he'll be wondering why I'm catching them all!
thanks for the info...I'm going to grab a can and remove the Disney stickers my dd loves to decorate my bedroom windows with. They are literally baked on by the sun!
sarahpierce....that was very funny 
Right now I have one of my chairs partially upholstered with duck tape. This is the chair my cat has chosen as her scratching post. The duck tape protects the chair and makes a pretty loud noise when she scratches on it, so I can yell at her to get away from it. LOL
WD-40 also works great for making flame throwers
Ha! I am at the bookstore and there is a 365 calendar of duct tape , and right away, I think cake central! LOL!
