What is the main ingredient of WD-40?

Wow, WD-40 joins the Multi Use Hall of Fame, joining Duct Tape, Channel Lock pliers, and Expoxy Adhesives.

What else belongs there?

Um........... no. I think I can figure that one out Ed. Maybe we should mail a bunch of Superglue to the Washington politicians labeled as lip balm! Just an idea. Jim

Think I heard, somewhere, that it helps arthritis but, I for one want try it YET....

My dad used to use it on his aching knees.

He was an ex pro footbal player having played in the late 30s, when safety wasn't just secondary, it never even came into the equation. and as a defensive end, he had a few folks cut him at the kness. Crackback blocks were common. So as got into his sixties, his kness acted up.

And he swore that WD-40 made a difference for him. He would rub it into his knees a couple times a week.

I never tried it myself, but maybe I will now that I have been reminded of it.

As I recall it was DMSO , an industrial solvent , which was found to be an effective joint pain reliever about 20 years ago . Possibly WD40 contains DMSO as a solvent .

i was drilling a pice of plastic and, yep, you guessed it, it caught and i drilled a nice 1/2" hole ( not all the way thru)in the palm of my hand.
squeezed some superglue into the wound, pulled it out after a few min( to clean the chunks of plastic out), and reglued.
ain't NO WAY you could keep a banage in the palm of your hand and still be using it but this worked great!
still have the scar but no other side issues...
