This is a total red herring. WD-40 is compounded of highly-volatile petroleum distillates. Incorporating DMSO would do nothing for its intended uses. Besides, if WD-40 had DMSO in it, how many jillio

The key word is "highly-volatile". That means that it is GONE in a matter of days and any lubricating properties with it. WD-40 is good for loosening stuck hardware and other such temporary lubricati

Hi Pete. I think it must have something besides a petroleum distillate in it because it is widely used on fish bait and crab bait here in Oregon. Salmon fisherman spray it directly on the bait whethe

Yes, yes, yes. The can says it "stops squeaks" but doesn't say for how long! A locksmith once told me that WD-40 was about as bad a "lubricant" as there could be for sticky keylocks. Everybody uses i

Pete It does say "Lubricates" on the back of the can I have and also makes that statement on first page of their website. www.wd40.com. Just some observations you might or might not be interested in.

Yeah -- I know. Actually, that was AA4LR who spoke so strongly on the non-lubricant aspect. I always used to believe in the sutff, used it for things like the big coil springs on my garage doors, but

The can in front of me (>three years old) does NOT say "lubricate" anywhere. I guess they've changed their tune. Maybe they've changed their formula. Or not. Mike N2MG that springs -- FAQ on WWW: htt

My old cans say the same -- no "lubricant" or "lubricate" anywhere. I suspect they changed the label. Interesting on the web site. Note that 3in1 oil is an excellent light lubricant, and is shown on

Bob, Water lubricates, too. What's important is what's left after everything that can do so has evaporated. If it's not a "lubricant", you have nothing. 73, dale, kg5u -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.cont
