In case you forgotten about our old friend WD-40, here are some ways to use it around the house.

I have a can that has WD-40 but no air pressure. A guy online shows you how to drill a hole, solder in a tire valve, and pump it up. Actually, the two below don't do any soldering.

Why not take the spray cap off and put the WD on a rag to wipe down what can be wiped?

Wipe WD-40 on old zippers to make them function smoothly again.

Uhh-h-h- just buy another can. They aren't expensive.
I have cans of WD-40 all over the place, but I don't like throwing away a product that would last me a few more years.

Are you suggesting that pushing down on the little white tube will let the WD-40 out?

No, I believe the contents of the can is liquid which is vaporized into a mist by the air pressure and the design of the cap - thus, REMOVING the white cap (atomizer) will allow access to the liquid

40 years ago a machinist I knew bought wd40 by the gallon. He put it in standard spray bottles, the kind you get at the hardware store. Worked just fine that way.

Not mentioned in the list, Jerry, is using WD-40 to clean stainless steel appliances - a very light spray and wipe down that fridge- it'll shine with no streaks..
