HERE'S A NEW EDITION OF THE WD_40 NEWSLETTER. READ AND ENJOY
This copy of the news forum is printed for your information only -- recognition is given to WD_40 for the composition and format of the e-mail received by the editor of this "blog" by Ethel Taylor aka BlueAngel
The History Channel program "Modern Marvels" profiles companies that are unique, innovative or have an interesting story to tell. It makes sense, then, that we got the call earlier this year to let us know that WD-40 would soon be a star of the show!
WD-40 was featured on an episode of the show in August, called "Lube Job." The episode, dedicated to modern man's slew of products used to keep things working smoothly, focused on WD-40 as a multi-purpose problem solver, that continues to work as well as the day it was created.
"My wife and I moved to Meizhou, China in February. We are foreign teachers at Jaiying University. We purchased electric bikes to be able to move about the city more quickly. As with many bikes in China, mine developed a very annoying squeak. I looked in many stores for lubricant products and tried to explain my problem and desire for a remedy, but to no avail.
One Saturday afternoon as my wife and I were biking down one of the city streets, my wife noticed a car wash. I went into the store and looked over all the shelves for something that would help. A salesman came up to me and began speaking in Chinese. In my frustration, the only thing I could do was point at the bike and make a "squeak, squeak, squeak" sound. I then gestured as if I had a can of WD-40 while making a spraying sound. The Chinese man immediately cried out, "WD4!" I yelled, "YES!!!!" He went in the back and brought out a can of WD-40 and presented it to me. He would not let me pay him for it. I sprayed the squeak and happily rode my bike back to the university. I was so happy to find out that WD-40 had made its way into Meizhou, China. No more squeaks!"
— Terry Williams --

Removes all traces of duct tape
Removes tar off rugs
I have even heard of folks spraying it on their arms, hands, and
knees to relieve arthritis pain.
~Florida's favorite use was "cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers
The favorite use in the state of New York -- WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. It's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though,using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states
Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately, and stops the itch.
WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and
wipe with a clean rag.
Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and
dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick
spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start. (If I knew what a distributor cap was, it might help){I don’t think the newer car makes have distributor caps}
WD-40, long known for its ability to remove leftover tape from sticky label tape, is also a lovely perfume and air freshener!
Sprayed liberally on every hinge in the house, it leaves that distinctive clean fresh scent for up to two days!
Seriously though, it removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor!
Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!
And of course, the latest use for WD-40 is:
Cocaine dissolver! Bar and tavern owners are spraying their tables and counters with WD-40 to discourage drug use.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle."
Later, Betsy

Here's Some of the newest information from WdD-40 which you can use at your discretion!
-During the winter months, many drivers deal with salted roads. As anyone who has driven on these roads knows, salt damages the exterior ofautomobiles. WD-40 can prevent this damage with ease.
Use a WD-40 Big Blast to:
-Spray the entire undercarriage of your automobile after driving on salted roads. The WD-40 spray will remove the salt, will drive out moisture and help prevent oxidation and corrosion.
-Help remove rust and corrosion that is already in place. Spray WD-40
on an affected area and buff. You’ll note the positive effects immediately
