Now change computers and post some more BS later tonight. ------- "-MIKE-" wrote in message ... Yeah, anonymous. No name, no real way to find you. duh. Google that word while you're at it. I'm still waiting for that the proof of your allegations. You can keep changing the subject or ignoring it all you want. That's more evidence pointing to who the real asshole is. -- -MIKE- On 7/15/11 10:16 PM, m II wrote: anonymous"? Bull****. still an asshole |

I've Rediscovered WD-40
Some quotes from this thread:
Works for while. Try Kroil or PB Blaster if you want a lubricant. I prefer "fluid film" or Lloyds AD2000. AD3000 is a bit heavier (kinda like the LPS1 and LPS2 product. Pick up a can of white lithium spray grease and lose the WD-40; you'll never go back; particularly for locks. Lubricant for 2 days then it forms a sludge that will lock your mechanisms up tight. Locks will seize right up. Locksmiths love the stuff and sell more locks because of the stuff. Squirt in into the bearings of the motor on your table saw and then get back to us about that in a year or so. WD-40 wrecks more than it fixes! This is what I was trying to get at. These types of comments are what caused me to get away from WD-40 in the first place. My point is, I've tried it again and it works, for me. Not for just awhile, not for a couple days, but in one case so far, two years! I KNOW it's not the best lubricant or rust remover or free'er up'er for all situations. I don't believe I would squirt it into the bearings of the motor on my table saw. I also know from personal experience not to spray it into the air inlet on my pneumatic tools. Ate the seals right up! It's NOT the best for everything, but it sure works a treat for some things. And of course, to each his own. Everyone has to use what works for them, no disagreement. Hope everyone has a great weekend! We were going to go garage saleing, but being in the northwest of Washington, it's a little chilly and raining! S'pose I could go out to the shop for some woodworking. Nahhhhh... Phil |

Everyone really knows that, like duct tape, WP 40 is great for a LOT of stuff. It's a solvent-borne light oil. What's not to like? People who complain about WD are the types who don't use enough to flush out the gunk which had caused the problem in the first place, and they don't use a firmer lubricant afterward. My point is, I've tried it again and it works, for me. Same, except I never stopped using it. Nor did I. I go through about 1 can a decade of each of over a dozen lubes and penetrants.

I've Rediscovered WD-40
I just finishing cleaning the thick black film (crust) that had accumulated
on the caulking/sealant on my camping trailer. You know the stuff, kinda like plumbers putty. Looks nice and white at first then turns black. Anyway, WD-40 and a fine stiff brush cleaned it all off, looks nice again. Afterwards used car wash soap and cleaned off the WD-40. Probably could have used kerosine, mineral spirits, or something else but I had the WD-40 in a spray bottle and it worked. Usually I keep some on the trailer and spray the joints, threads on the leveling jacks and other moveable joints. This is to flush and protect. For lock cylinders, however, LPS-1 is the only thing I use. Ralph "Phil Anderson" wrote in message ... Haven't posted for awhile, but I still read the group at least once a week. Ya know how when you were but a babe, maybe 20, maybe a teenager, and you discovered the wonders of WD-40? When you sprayed it here and there, it made everything work easier, quieter?

I tried to take the lock apart, removing the screws and as much of the cylinder as I could, but that door wasn't going to open. I reassembled everything in frustration. Then I sprayed just a little WD-40 on the only part I could reach, the bolt itself through the crack in the door. I turned the knob again, and again, voila! It turned like buttah. I immediately went around to the other two screen doors and did the same and while I was there, I sprayed what I could reach and the key hole on all the locks. Everything has quieted down and turns easily. That was a couple weeks ago and I'm still amazed at how easily and quietly everything is working. Now, back at work. We have a 60 cup coffee pot that plugs into a timer. I'm the coffee guy, mostly for self-preservation. At the end of the day, I unplug the cord from the timer so I can get enough room to wash up the pot for the next day. It has become increasingly difficult to remove the plug from the timer. I had to pull realllly hard to get it out. This has been going on for about three years. Today, I took a paper towel and sprayed a little WD-40 on it and wiped the blades of the plug. Slipped it in the outlet of the timer and, well, you get the idea. Like buttah....... Recently purchased a couple Honda scooters, used. The lock to lift up the seat for the helmet holder was hard to turn on both of them. Pssst, psst, they work like new. The cargo door locks on my motorhome were difficult to turn. A little in the key hole and a little on the inside latch, good to go! So, don't believe everything you hear or read. Yes, there are places where some other lubricant is more appropriate, but WD-40 has earned a spot right up front on my lubricant shelf, once again. Try it, you might like it, just like you used to. -- Best Regards, Phil Anderson Living In The Woods Of Beautiful Bonney Lake, Washington Visit My Web Site: www.philsfun.com |

Oh - I like it - but then I've always been a sucker for self-depricating humor - of which you are a master. In fact I am of the belief it is the height of arrogance to assume _a n y_ post is built solely for an individual. Usenet IS "public domain". The information freely given. No - the height of arrogance is in believing that your dribble actually has any value. Now... seeing as how you are here, "Mike".. Before you "lit out all bent out of shape!"G Join the rest... Do read on... Sometimes "stuff" just happens and figuring out"why it is so" is often way past the concern or time allowed for such trivialities in each day. There is why I do not (usually) bother with you "denser than cork " types... and to explain that, cos it is needed (believe it or not) I say... it is BECAUSE you have not graduated beyond the MS product that I _know_ you are not a.) "up to speed" and b.) denied the full experience of Usenet. Leon too.., yet happily so joins yall in showing me his handicap by commenting "I diddun know you were from "down under". Why? Leon diddun know because he cannot see (or cannot read) the Date stamp in a post! The +1000 tag. Dude - go do those meds... quickly! I am quite happy to discount those who fail to expand themselves beyond what is placed on the desktop before them - in PLAIN VIEW. That is, happy to discount IF they deny themselves the ego trip of lampooning something they do not understand. Join with what comes easy to the breed (as dense as cork) and like ol' rotten carcass to a wedgies, you attract the likes of me. Me chasing off the vultures that got there first, that is. You go figure out THAT metaphor, "Mike" & Co. Ok - now I'm beginning to fear for your safety. There isn't a ledge near you is there? Oh shucks... too bad... You (mike) claim a superior method of expression? Well,, welcome to the ring, bro. You're funny - I made no claims at all. that's your domain...

The large rubber bushings/gaskets on my 1 1/2" PVC couplings and connections on my pool piping used to be a bitch to tighten and needed at least channel locks to get tight. Once I spray them with WD40 they hand tighten with ease, and no leaks. Works good on regular rubber hose washers as well. Seems to keep them in good shape with no age cracks or dry rotting. Two indispensable lubricants in my house are WD-40 and Vasoline. I use plain vasoline on my pool fittings and valves instead of the very expensive silicone lubricant that comes in the tiny tubes at pool stores. Update: The other day I was going through the crap stored in my garage to see what I could throw awayand came across my old softball glove. It was an old Ted Williams model from Sears, and last used about 15 years ago when I played in soft pitch beer leagues and could still run between bases at full gallop. It looked like hell and seemed more destined for the trash than anything else. It had mold in places and the lacing straps were kinda stiff and it didn't fold too easily when I placed it on my hand. Just for kicks and with nothing to lose, I sprayed it all over with WD-40 and rubbed it all in, then wiped it with dry rags. The mold was gone and the laces were soft again. I put it on and it seemed to be as good as new. It's been a couple of days since and it doesn't even have an oily smell, although it does have a slightly darker color. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY In the original Orange County.
