WD-40

A man had bought a new pickup. His neighbor got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). The neighbor went over, woke the man up, and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do. Probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. All were impressed! WD-40 who knew?

Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you...' IT IS MADE FROM FISH OIL!' When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It is a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... It is now shinier than it has ever been before.

WD-40 is great for cleaning,, when I get tools back from site, a squirt of WD and a wipe over and they're as good as new again.

Also, when working on cars and your hands get covered in grease, oil and so on, spray WD-40 on your hands, rub in and wipe off, then wash your hand with ordinary soap.

It's worth it's weight in gold!!

Whitening chalk
if you mix with a little water rub over glue walk away for 5 mins then just rub off.
when the chalk drys it soaks up the glue pulling the glue off.
it's not abrasive I get mine from an art shop but it's the same stuff builders use with there pin line device.
theres no hard rubbing involved it just wipes off.
