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 countries.
40) Use it for insect 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.
43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.
44 )It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the burned feeling away and heals with NO scarring

P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.

Easy (when you spend your life using the stuff). "Water displacement 40". It was the 40th formula the inventor came up with for a water displacer.

Given that the fish oil claim is a load of bollocks, I'd suggest caution at many of the other suggestions.

WD40 is very versatile and I have used it on clothes but you must wash it immediately. It has removed wine stains from a beige carpet (red wine) but a glass of white would also have removed it. It is great for cleaning the uPVC of window frames and even better for bringing a shine to silverware. Remember you don't go mental with it, just a dab or squirt actually.

WD40 is an essential piece of gear for the gigging guitarist. A quick squirt before and after the gig keeps your strings slick & bendy & prolongs their life.


Wiffs a bit though !

Pigeons hate the smell of it (spray some in your veranda if bothered by pigeons) you will need to keep topping it up as pigeons can be very stubourne.
