I also, many, many years ago discovered SiliKroil, (The oil that creeps!) After trying it I gave away all of my WD40 and always keep a couple of cans of SiliKroil on hand. Great stuff.

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.

The stuff worked great on Typewriters.

Might want to make your own lube oil...

Something most people forget about WD-40: It is a much better solvent than it is a lubricant.

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..


Works very well at my house...

Some years ago, while working as an insurance agent, I visited an old lady and commented on the 5 or 6 cans of WD-40 she had on her counter.

She said it was the best thing she found for soothing her arthritis.

WD-40 and duct tape a part of all homeowners tool kit. Both work wonders!

Have used it for years to remove price stickers. Works better than Goo-Gone.

One of my cans lost it's pressure, so I poked a hole in the top with a nail and poured the WD-40 into a small bottle. Now all I have to do is dampen a small rag or paper towel with it, and job done.

If you decide to solder something onto a WD40 or any other can with flammable liquid inside, make sure you video it. We wouldn't want the world to miss it.
