We sometimes accumulate products at home that we use for specific jobs and forget that they may have other uses. One such product is Water Displacement #40 which we have so accustomed to call it WD 40! It's many uses are quite interesting so feel free to read about this fantastic product. I don't tend to endorse products but do enjoy seeing multi uses for products I already have at home without having to search for the next miracle product for each home use.
Water Displacement #40 began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and de greaser to protect Missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three Technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a "water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you...' IT IS MADE FROM FISH OIL' . When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It is a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... It is now shinier than it has ever been before.
