WD40 -- Other uses for the magic spray
Subject: Yet more WD40 uses. A day of Spring skiing will often result in the bottom of skis coated with this black gunk that does not slide too well. WD40 takes this mess right off. -- (Hal Beattie)
Subject: WD40 Hint Using WD 40 removes black scuff marks from vinyl flooring. It will also remove the glue that squeezes out in between vinyl tiles after they are laid. Then you do need to wash the floor because it will be very slippery. Christyan Fox
Subject: another WD-40 miracle
I
was driving home this summer on a toll way when some jerk in front of me
decided not to pay. I thought that the gate was delayed when I tapped my
horn b/c he just shrugged. I threw my money in and the gate went up allowing
him to go thru, but it came crashing down on the hood of my Wrangler. The
gate left a huge safety orange streak across my hunter green jeep. I was
beyond infuriated! I wasn't sure if it was an actual scratch or just paint
so when I got home I began attempting to scratch at the orange with my
fingernail. Though I made teenie progress, the problem seemed mostly to be
paint. Yet it would take forever to get it off at the rate I was going.
Suddenly I remembered reading in my marketing textbook about the ridiculous
uses for WD-40, so I thought I'd give it a try. To my exhilaration, it came
off within 2 secs. I always promote it now when I get a chance. so the
moral: WD-40 gets off paint marks on cars, even paint from other cars without
harming your finish ;) -- Truffle7

If the cable won't rewind back inside your vacuum cleaner, squirt WD40 into the mechanism, also squirt some on the cable and rub along its length to lubricate the cable. It
will do the trick!

Subject: Sticky labels.
I use WD40 to
remove sticky labels. Just spray a little WD40 on the label and leave it for a few
minutes. The label usually slides right off.-- "The McKenna's"

A good replacement for
those expensive cleaners for shower stalls/doors that I have found is, believe it or not:
WD-40. I never believed it until I tried it, and it certainly makes a shower door sparkle,
so give it a try! --"Susan Kelly"

If the door keeps sticking, check if the hinges need lubricating (with WD40, or a similar lubricant), before getting it realigned. -

Subject: Crayons on the wall
I was talking to my neighbor about how my 3-year-old twins decided to draw all over their room - top to bottom, with
crayons. She said that she saw a woman on T.V. who used WD-40 and then cleaned it up with soap and water. So I figured I'd try - it was that or sand
down the whole room and paint. I was AMAZED!! The crayon came off with
minimal elbow grease!!!! and I mean there was A LOT of crayon on the wall - ALL GONE! My problem afterwards was the greasiness from the WD-40. Although the
woman had suggested soap and water, I used a spray grease cutter and that worked well. Dishwasher detergent may
also work, anything that is a grease cutter. -- "MLNeathery"

The late fall is the time to time to oil and clean the lawn mower and other machinery. Brush on clean engine oil or lightly spray with WD40 or similar – Cameron
