Wish I Knew These WD-40 Ideas Before, I Would'Ve Saved A Lot Of Time

[@alanhughes6423]

Whilst WD40 works short term as a lubricant it is not a lubricant. It is a cleaner as degreaser so when you use it it removes dirt build up snd old grease so it seems to be lubricated but its not, it is just clean. So use WD40 first and later when evaporated and dry use silicone spray which is a lubricant.

Do not use wd40 in locks. It will work at first but will leave a residue that attracts dirt and dust and gunks up the lock. Use graphite powder.

[@toysoldier46552]

Or just buy a new lock after using WD40. If it's that stuck, there's rust in it, so, you actually need to replace the lock.

[@marty7673]

Use Inox for locks. Not graphite powder.

I’d like to know one trick how do you get the rest of the WD-40 out of the can when it stops coming out when your spraying and there is still half a can left

[@laurannaroach2559]

I have found if you take the spray nozzle off and turning the can upside down press the can down on the plastic neck the spray will then come out of the can. I do not know why but it always works for me

[@MarkChilluffo]

There’s videos on how to add compressed air to the can

[@danielalamo2075]

Poke a hole. That's what I do. Aside from spray cans, I use a refillable spray bottle. I buy a gallon can of WD40 at Tractor Supply. I poke a hole and drain the can into my spray bottle.

[@tim3572]

Take the nozzle off, place an automotive valve stem over the tube protruding from the top of the can and while holding it tightly use the air chuck on an air compressor to inject air into the can to pressurize it. Now it will spray again.

Excellent point! I lubed the wheels of an office chair (outside) and then wiped everything as good as I could. But it wasn't good enough and some dripped onto the carpet. I've had the carpet cleaned twice and the oil still attracts dirt and makes a black mark that comes back even after cleaning. 🙁

[@dimik3855]

WD-40 is essentially an oil diluted with a mineral spirit and something to make it smell nice (which for some people, it doesn't). Use a clean engine oil, a neutral spirit and for instance, a lemon essence or any other pleasant smell of your choice, put it in a spray bottle and you're good to go. Personally, for the garage and workshop I do it with used engine or transmission oil with Varsol or thinner and don't bother with the smell. Super handy and cheap. Always keep clean rags around.

Once the dirt and grime has been removed from the lathe ways, WD40 + automatic transmission fluid in a spray bottle will put an atomized layer of oil to prevent rust. Both fluids dispel water but the WD-40 evaporates leaving a thin film of ATF. Without the WD-40 the ATF does not spread. Later that ATF can be wiped clean for your next machine shop job. No rust!

[@toysoldier46552]

Paste wax does the same thing and leaves no residue for things like woodworking machines. ATF will end up on a woodworking project. WD40 is good for removing rust though.

Best to use a lubricant designed for use as a lubricant, not WD40. In 1953, chemist Norman B. Larsen and his team at the Rocket Chemical Company in San Diego, California created WD40.

Here are some other things about WD40 that you may find interesting or useful. Why is it called WD40? Because the WD stands for Water Dispersant and it took the company 40 attempts to get the product correct. If you want to claim the insurance and write your vehicle off, simply spray the underside of an engine with a can of WD40 and after driving for 15 to 20 minutes you'll find the engine bay will go up in flames but be careful because you'll find that to get out of the vehicle injury free is second to 1 minute.
