I doubt you'll convince SmittyTwo of that. His mind seems to be made
up.
And you may not have any other opinion than his.

But, I do agree. WD40 is for temporary lubrication, cleaning, and other
uses, but it does gum up over time, or is just a sand magnet.

Steve




ACTUALLY, it's not a lubricant at all. It's a water displacer.

And it is certainly not a penetrating oil.
I guess sinse rust is hydrated iron oxide, there could be a case made
for the water displacement function getting rid of the "rust" and
turning it to "iron oxide"

English and physics and chemistry aside, it works good for some "stuff", and
not so good for other "stuff".

Well, I know that and YOU know that but .........

I got a thing a while back about 99 uses for WD 40. Some of them were quite
unique, and I'd like to find it again and print it. One of the things was
wasp bites. If I get any this summer, I'll be trying it. I got stung one
day last summer by five of the lovely little creatures. All at once. Ow!

My BIL told me a story of how he used it at banks he did service work at to
"rejuvenate" the granite tops. He saw that the lady was watching him,
trying to find out the secret. She asked him what it was, and he just told
her, "Oh, you have to have a federal license to buy this particular stuff."
Made some nice bucks just with some liquid WD 40 and a terrycloth towel.

Kerosene has always been a tried and true wasp sting remedy. That is
why wd40 works in that area. That is all it basically is.

Another thing that will remove the pain immediately is clorox. Just a
dab on your finger touched to the sting and you're good.

That old nonsense again. That simply isn't true. I posted a link to the MSDS
for WD40 earlier in this thread; go read it. It shows clearly that WD40 is
*not* "basically" just kerosense.

If you look at the msds and look at kerosene it is pretty darn close.
You will notice 45-50% of WD40 ia "aliphatic hydrocarbons"
Well, guess what. Paraffin is an alkane, which is - get this, an
"aliphatic hydrocarbon"
Kerosene, or lamp oil, is 100% paraffin Hydrocarbon - which is an
alkane, which is, by definition, an"aliphatic hydrocarbon",
so 45 - 50 % of WD40 IS basically KEROSENE.
Up to 25% of WD40 is "petroleum base oil" - which also describes
Kerosene - as it is petroleum sourced - and a light oil.
A further 12-18% is "low vapour poressure aliphatic hydrocarbon" -
which again is basically "Heavy Kerosene"

So chemically. roughly 80% of WD40 can accurately be described as
"basically Kerosene"

Slice it any way you want to.

"aliphatic hydrocarbon";CAS 64742-47-8: ~50% of WD-40.
Kerosene is about 80% aliphatic hydrocarbons.
I think "deodorized kerosene" is parafin-removed kerosene.

I Googled "CAS 64742-47-8",and it comes up "deodorized KEROSENE".
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ipcsneng/neng1379.html

In conclusion,WD-40 is about 50% KEROSENE,according to it's own MSDS.

Right, and, as should be obvious to anyone who passed third-grade math, that
also means it's about 50% *not* kerosene -- which obviously means that it's
NOT the same thing as kerosene.

Suppose I offer you a drink. It's half beer and half ****. Will you believe me

Except the MSDS -DOES- say it has 50% kerosene in it.
There IS kerosene in there. that proves your statement wrong.

and your analogy is lacking. WD-40 is half kerosene,and half other
petroleum oils. IOW,"basically kerosene".
A better analogy would be half beer and half ale,but it's still "beer".
Or that denatured alcohol is STILL "alcohol",despite it having other things
in there.

Man up,Doug.

Bad comparison. You're displaying your ignorance again. Denatured alcohol is
more than 90% alcohol.

WD-40 is half stuff that's chemically similar to kerosene, and half stuff
that's not even remotely close to kerosene.

PUhleeze! Do not muddle this emotional hissy fight with facts! Sheeesh!

And just because WD40 says there is no kerosene in it doesn't mean there
isn't any kerosene in it. You know how these big corporations lie, and how
some of the posters here know more than the sum total of the knowledge of
mankind, past, present, and future. And that's only the ones in this
discussion, and not the sum total for all the Internet.
