loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I wonder if you can buy this miraculous product in Nottingham. Comes in a Blue Aerosol can here with a yellow label. Said to be good for freeing rusted on nuts and bolts, stopping squeaks, lubricating bike chains. The list is endless. Some old farmers in Saskatchewan claimed they spray it on their knuckles to ease arthritis. We have an old chiming clock. It quit keeping good time, would stop randomly, it resisted all efforts to do anything about it. We were ready to bin it. Then I thought, nowt ta lose just bung a load of WD40 into it. If that kills it, it was done for anyway. Well here we are four months later and its keeping perfect time. Anyway if you can get it there tell us some good uses you've found for it. Btw. This is not spam. I don't sell the stuff. :-) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Interesting article there Carni. Maybe I should try it on the Osteoarthritis in my neck. I get bad twinges at times. Dr. told me it was from years in the electrical trade reaching up over my head to hang light fixtures, fans etc. Bit wary about spraying chemicals anywhere near me ears. Might make me nuttier than I already am. They're always telling you not to let motor oil stay on your skin. Didn't know it was SO widely available. Edited to add: Never tried it for tar removal Ian. Thanks for the hint, I'll give it a try. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,292 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 WD40 - tastes bleddy awful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 So does this & it's no use for anything else. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,292 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Ah., but Coke is almost as good as WD40 for rust removal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Real ale after it's been through my body. No use as a lubricant either 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Some certainly seem to get well oiled on it Bubble. Only ever tried the Tennants in a rickety minibus returning from a Man U - Forest game. It's like bloody treacle. The other two, no way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,878 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 WD40 - tastes bleddy awful. A mate of mine drinks brake fluid, he can stop at any time. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 In the 60s we used Eez-It penetrating oil with Molybdenum disulfide. Great on rusted nuts and bolts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
