The Real Uses For WD-40: Lubricant, Degreaser Or Neither?

Do you keep a can of WD-40 around the house? Did you know that you’re using it wrong?

Chances are you’ve used it at one point or another to loosen a bolt or fix a squeaky door hinge, but that’s actually not what it’s meant to do!

    I Love WD-40....and I use it for a lot of things....in the (old) days have used it in the car's distributer cap after a heavy rain made starting it difficult... but my favorite use is Wasp preventative....cause if I spray the top of the window frames the wasps can't attach their nests for at least a year...plus it knocks them out of the air immediately...oiling their wings so they can't fly...
