Fun fact. WD 40 was invented by an astronautics engineer who at one point worked for nasa. He developed it to displace water in space as mentioned in the video. He named it “Water Displacement test #40” which became known as the shorter name WD-40. Took him 40 tries before he accepted the formula he liked as a final product.

Another use of the silicone spray lube is to spray the foam rubber door gaskets of your car to keep your doors from freezing shut in the winter. You just have to read the can and make sure it's only silicone spray lube you're getting and that they haven't tossed in a few "extras" that wind up destroying the door gasket instead.

A coating company went and painted buildings in my city with a silicone based coating,,, this was marketed as “ Anti Graffiti” and “Easy Wash” which is true. But when they want to repaint…. Ya. The only way I got silicone coatings off exterior buildings was to do HOT water pressure washing. It was about a sqft in about a minute. It all came off but left a silicone pile on the side walk and little flakes floated onto cars near by (easy rinse off). I was so Happy when we started painting felt ,,, so easy. Hahah

One of the first WD40 marketing campaigns I remember was to use WD40 to drive water out of spark plug wires and distributor caps. At the time I was a teen with 2 dirt bikes and truly when you ride through puddles or deep streams the plug wires would get wet and stop the engine. Back then most cars had a lot of room under their hoods and poorly designed roads also were prone to rain water ponding up and the tires would soak the engine compartment. WD40 did work well to drive the moisture from the plugs, wires, and distributors. I was saved from sitting in the woods for hours waiting for my bike to dry off many times. I worked at a service station when I got a little older and we would use it to start drowned cars on service calls. It saved a number of tows. I've been told it is a decent starting fluid for 2 cycle motors and diesel engines though I've never tried it for that. I've been using a product called SCREWLOOSE by CRC for penetrating rusted and over-tightened fittings. It works good, is FDA approved for food plants, and doesn't stink like one of the other competitors product.

Wise bear. I love WD-40, but I also have graphite, silicone, and lithium lubricants.

I gave him some graphite, and he had never even heard of it.

When I was in the Fleet Air Arm in the 70s/80s, it was labelled Rocket WD-40, it had a rocket with a yellow and blue chequered pattern around it on the can similar to that on some NASA rockets and it was often shortened to just 'Rocket', 'Dubs 40' or just 'Dubs'. It was expensive so we were encouraged to use PX-24 instead whenever possible which came in five litre bottles and was put in a hand spray and was used to spray on an aircraft's skin after a freshwater wash, especially if it had been flying over the sea. I never really knew what the difference was but always thought that PX-24 smelled a bit like coconut. I remember being told that WD-40 was a dry lubricant in that its lubrication continued after it had dried. I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with the current delivery systems for WD-40. The folding straw spray heads that I have used are incapable of giving a momentary spray, no matter how hard I try, an instant of a press always gives about two or three seconds of spray. And the hand spray bottles are a total failure - whether they have a rubber seal which perishes or something, I don't know but after a while, pumping the trigger just results in a handful of WD-40 and nothing hitting the target. So, I decant WD-40 into a small bottle for manual application and keep an old fashioned can around for difficult areas.
@sapereaude391
@sapereaude391 4 роки тому
Having been reminded of PX24 by my comment above, I discovered that it was still available so I bought five litres to use on my car the same way that it was used on aircraft, i.e. as water/dirt repellant. I regret to have to say that the product I received, whilst it probably does its job, smells disappointingly nothing like coconut.

I like the design of the straw now, because it never gets lost and you can just fold it down for more of a general application, but like you, I think it fails miserably when it comes to trying to give like a half burst, where we used to be able to trickle it out of the can. These new triggers are either full on or full off, and there's no middle ground.

About 50% were useless synthetic material that wouldn't soak up anything. Sometimes you'd get a bale which was all synthetic in which case most of the PX24 went down your sleeve.

Great video. Couple points, WD40 Is actually a decent penetrating lubricant AVE and Project Farm both tested it against a slew of other penetrating lubes and it did very well, was consistently in the top 3 or 4 out of a dozen. As a mechanic I can say my anecdotal evidence supports that. Secondly the MSDS says it's 35% petroleum oil..so it absolutely lubricates, but as stated it's kind of a jack of all trades. Great item to keep around
@alexandersimpson3638
@alexandersimpson3638 Рік тому
I seem to remember some time ago they had to remove any claims to lubricator.. When it boils off, what’s left? It certainly ain’t 30% oil, it may be good whilst it’s boiling off at penetrating but it’s far better at cleaning.. I suspect any oil in WD40 is being gassed off, since it literally leaves nothing behind to lubricate one the boiling has finished.. It smells nice though…!

@RabbleBarkMoo --- Many years ago, I drove tow trucks for the Auto Club. And during rainy seasons' many drivers would go too fast through standing water at intersections, which would slash water onto the exhaust manifolds, causing steam which would find it's way into the distributor cap and kill the motor. Whip off the distributor cap, spray wd40 inside, slosh it around, dump it out & no more water!! Drivers thought we were the greatest!
@bgordski
@bgordski 4 роки тому
@RabbleBarkMoo It displaces water. An ignition system is passing a high voltage, low current load: any water acts as a conductor and shorts the ignition. Ever wash your engine in a car wash and had trouble starting afterwards? Spray wd-40 and the engine fires right up. The ozone in the air eats at the insulation of the ignition system. You can see this at night in the dark look at a running engine and watch the sparks jumping from the ignition wires. After a rain storm you can stand by a big puddle and fix stalled cars for profit using only wd-40.

I've never used WD-40 on my razor. I still have a couple Gillette Sensor razors that take those twin blade cartridges. I want to say I got those in the late 80s. I haven't used them in ages, but I wouldn't be surprised if they still made those refills. I know as recently as five years ago, they still made them, and even then, they should have probably declared them obsolete lol. I only have one of those twin edge razors that you twist the bottom to open up the top to clean and replace the blade. The nice thing about those is the blades are universal, and because soooo many companies have made them over the years, unless everyone got together all at once and decided to stop making blades for them, they'll never go obsolete. When I first started shaving, I was given a twin blade safety razor with cartridges and that was that. I don't know why my Dad wouldn't have shown me the other kind, because that's what he used. But, I managed to find out about them on my own, and I'm glad I did, because I never went back to the cartridge style again. Well, I tried with little to no success a couple times over the years, but I always went back. I bought a Mach3, went back shortly after, bought a ProGlide ElZippo 5 blade things with a AAA trimmer in the handle, went back to single blade. In fact, now that I think about it, I don't remember ever seeing a can of shaving cream or gel or anything like that. When my Dad was teaching me, we used bar soap... Irish Spring to be exact. I did that for a long time too. I just didn't really see the need to switch. I was probably between 35 and 40 before I bought my first can of shaving cream, and that was only because I just stopped buying bar soap. I switched to shower gel, and on the sink I switched to liquid hand soap, neither of which proved to be any good for shaving, so I started buying shaving cream, then a couple years later I switched to shaving soap in a mug, which was a little tricky to operate so I got a lather brush, and I ended up with the exact setup I should have been using all along lol. The only thing I haven't tried is a straight razor, and my hand/eye coordination isn't near good enough to try, so I'm never going to!

Thanks for this, useful and informative. The only thing I'd argue with is the statement that it's not good on seals, plastic or rubber.

During that time, I've never had a fork seal fail, a hose burst or any other seal related failure. Rather than attack rubber and plastics, WD40 seems to keep them flexible and protects from perishing. Just my 2c based on my personal experience! 🙂

Another one! Bad use of WD40... Which, as the bear mentioned regarding the hinges, just congregates the crud and traps water. NEVER use WD40 on ANYTHING electrical, espeically a HV ignition circuit. Use isopropyl to clean electrical gear. If one must coat the distributor cap, use an electrical (non-conductive) lacquer, or silicone spray; silicone is a very efficient moisture dispersal agent, one reason why it is used on all manner of aquatic equipment. A small smear of silicone grease, also acts as a pretty good 'demister' for one's diving mask. . WD40 has only one or two key uses - to clean rusty tools and parts and to help free rusted fastners, that said, many occasions, I've still had to apply heat to expand the fastner before it will deign to move. Otherwise keep well away from flame and electrics.

I saw this & had to comment! I have a nice home machine shop & living where there is always high humidity rusting of fine tools/machines is always a problem. I don't allow wd40 in my shop period because invariably it starts rusting within 2 weeks. Having done a substantial rust preventative study when working @ GE as an engineer. I tried 25 different rust preventative on cleaned steel plates. The winner for rust prevention was CRC-SP400 having kept the steel rust free over 6 months. WD was in the 1 week range , if lucky , Someone once told me that originally wd-40 was wing deicer - 40 degrees, don't know if true but makes sense on the surface. Also Sp350 is a thinner version for micrometers ect
