        They say you can fix anything with WD-40 or Duct tape.

        If it moves and it shouldn't use duct tape.
        if it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40.


        (Its a joke, don't take it seriously).

        I have to go now, to put some WD-40 on my arthritic knee.

        (Another joke, don't take me seriously)

        If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

              People have a general misunderstanding of the use of WD-40.

              It's not a lubricant. It's exactly the opposite of a lubricant actually...it displaces moisture.

              There are lots of uses for WD-40, but lubrication isn't one of them. You can break something loose with WD-40, but if you don't want it to seize again, apply the proper lubricant (oil, grease, wax, etc).

              I use to mis-use WD all the time before I learned this.

                From their website (wd40.com): (though the "wd" actually does stand for "water displacer")

                Known as "the can with a thousand uses," WD-40 protects metal from rust and corrosion, penetrates stuck parts, displaces moisture, and lubricates just about anything.

                  I know that WD-40 is advertised as a lubricant and many people have sung the praises of WD-40 as such. However, my personal experiences put me strongly on the side of Garasaki. It not only displaces water, it breaks down and displaces oils and grease as well. After repeated applications, it will also leave a brown varnish-like residue behind. I still use it as a penetrate and water displacer, and I did order a case of it at the above mentioned deal, but I don't use it in place of a good oil or grease.

                      looks like it was a description error as opposed to price error. does it mean that they will ship me one can for $6+$5? that would be pricey.

                      anybody else ordered and got any further email?

                        That's kinda what I thought too. Unless I missed it, I didn't see anywhere where it said 1 pack = 12 cans.

                            That is exactly what i saw yesterday Ricklab now it reads 11oz can 1 pack.


                            I keep a small can in my boat for just that Broschultz works better than them high dollar lures!



                            Guess i shulda jumped all over that but i was trying to figure out how many years fishing that would be . I already have a Gallon can in the shop that i got on a special at NAPA with a small spray pump bottle included for like $5 if i remember right a couple years agao.

                              It is also electrically conductive -- I made the mistake of hosing down a punch down block with it once when I thought moisture was causing some cross talk... It made the problem worse; I sprayed it a couple of more times and had to rewire the block...
