Despite your delusions, WD-40 is not kerosene,

Inquire at Home Depot or Lowes before commenting further.

See

Show a little manly probity, and discontinue your jackal-jabber. Nobody
takes it seriously other than to perhaps log you as a fool.


Kinch, you still haven't figured out that "petroleum distillates" encompasses
a very large variety of compounds, only a very few of which can legitimately
be called "kerosene". WD-40 is not in that category. Neither is paint thinner.
The sooner you figure this out, the sooner you stop looking like an ass.


I have no idea what's in WD-40, but it sure works a treat for removing
some sticky substances. It's worse than worthless as either a
lubricant or a preservative, but it's good for that -- and it works
great as an attractant when sprayed on crappie jigs.

Am I getting cabin fever and thinkin' iceout, or whut?
