WD40 The Expose.

Thanks to an e-mail from Susie M I can now summarise what we've been discussing all week. The merits of WD40 !
It began as a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD stands for Water Displacement and the formula was discovered at the 40th attempt. Hence the name.
Apart from its obvious uses, here's what you might not have discovered for yourself about the properties of WD40.
It cleans shower doors (glass or plastic)
It's great for cleaning barbeque grills, stainless steel sinks and cooker tops.
It'll give a great sheen to floors without making them slippery. Test to check this one out before blaming me but apparently it's true.
It'll clean blackboards and removes lipstick stains from clothing.
Sprayed on cows it keeps flies away.
It gets those dead flies off the bonnet of your car.
For anglers (see my previous article on using rubber maggots) WD40 is made from a basic ingredient of fish oil and it's said that it attracts fish. Therefore, spraying some on your rubber maggots will work wonders.
On the same subject, last Sunday I caught four goodly roach using one of my rubber maggots. In the past I've tried the white and the yellow ones with only scant success. Last weekend for the first time I used the RED one and - voila!
Next off I need to spray with WD40 to see what happens. Stand by for further reports.
