Another Use For WD-40...

[adamlau]

From the official WD-40 Wikipedia article under Specialty Uses:

WD-40 dissolves cocaine; when applied to surfaces in toilets, it prevents cocaine from being snorted off these surfaces :duh2: .

Ha ha.... that's great!

Will it take sh*t stains off as well?

Haha I wonder the same type of things. For instance, how the heck did people figure out that if you smoke marijuana you get high??

When I lived in Alaska, people who sport fished for halibut swore by WD-40. They would spray it on the hook before dropping it in the water. Claimed the halibut loved it. I saw many a 'but strike a WD-40'ed hook, but I guess there is no real way to tell if they would have been caught without it.

Nibblet of thought. WD-40 may be good for a lot of things, but it doesn't do everything well. Many common objects will serve useful in roles other than what they were intended for, just not very well.

In this case, doesn't cocaine dissolve in a large variety of solutions? More importantly, I'm glad that many places offer seat protectors. Just imagine the slipperyness of WD-40ed porcelain.

WD-40 is like magic in a spray can...

Hell, it even smells so good you could use it as deodorant

I dunno, I think WD40 on chicks makes a great perfume.

I heard about guys spraying baited chicken liver with it to attract catfish... never tried it myself though.

It gets tar off of my car and does not hurt the paint

That's because it's mostly solvent. it was designed to displace water. (Water Displacing formula 40. WD-40) It's useless as a lubricant.

Once all of the solvent dries up, it leaves behind a gummy yellow residue. If you've foolishly sprayed it into a complex piece of machinery, now you have to disassemble it and clean the yellow crud off. It can be very difficult.

Ask me how I know.

I use WD-40 as a cleaning agent; only because I can't buy kerosene in an aerosol can.

It's really a crappy product that is marketed for purposes that it is wholly unsuitable for.

So then the question is, how many people want to sit on toilet seats covered in wd40? I can't imagine it's kind on skin, especially in the hind quarters.

WD-40 on a toilet seat, sounds like a messy carnival ride!!

Yep, basically Stoddard Solvent...
