Show a little manly probity, and discontinue your jackal-jabber. Nobody

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.
WD is mostly Stoddard solvent (damnear kero), but even your generic
vegetable oil works extremely well to remove most adhesive label
stickiness. Drip some on, wait 10, and wipe it off, all without the
perfume of WD.

Interestingly enough, the aero version is 15-25% base oil and the bulk
is 30-35% oil. It does, indeed contain a bit of oil!

As to a lube, WD is not much of one. Use WD to free something and then
squirt an oil or grease in there. I like spray lithium grease. I've
been using it for window tracks, door hinges, locksets, and many other
things since I first saw it while working at the local Ford dealership
in Vista, ca 1979. Great schtuff, Maynard.
Am I getting cabin fever and thinkin' iceout, or whut?
What's "iceout", Don?
