I once used WD40 to clean up spray paint from a linoleum floor. It was the last day of tech for a play with a sixty five cent budget and the set designer was tired and angry and did not care where that spray paint went. Not wanting her to get in trouble, I ransacked the prop closet for anything useful and came up with the WD40, which worked beautifully. Both duct tape and WD40 are staples of the entertainment industry.
I NEED this on a t-shirt!
WD-40 is not a lubricant, it’s a solvent.
Works damn well as one though.
see point 4 here: http://www.wd40.com/faqs/#a97
Read the FlowChart. Solvent are GREAT at getting things to move that have stopped moving! WD-40 is the Correct application. IMHO!
If it’s not a lubricant, why does http://www.wd40.com repeatedly refer to it’s lubricating properties?
WD40 contains oil. Oil lubricates.
Inasmuch as it solves all your problems.
DId you just try to “well actually” ThereIFixedIt?
Simple, elegant, easy to remember. Win!
I was told the same thing by an engineering professor.
Stick the stuff that ain’t stuck and un-stick the stuff that is stuck.
Fu has a point: You get it unstuck with WD-40, then follow up with applying either grease or a real lubricating oil as the situation calls for.
WD40 is Deodorized Kerosene and Stoddard Solvent. Kerosene does lubricate, but not for long and then it evaporates.
i want this on a Tshirt but idk its kinda stupid
Why is the image named “white trash repairs”? As opposed to “afro-engineering”?
