datzenmike Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 People bought lots of Justin Bieber albums... doesn't mean he was great. It's a perfect money maker like an analgesic. It lessens/ removes pain temporarily but not the cause, so you have to keep buying more. It works fine but it's no miracle. I recommend it for cleaning lubing throttle linkages all the time... and more. Armed security guards and briefcases? secret formula??? In this day and age!!! is just theatrics. 1 Quote Link to comment

You got it, 50% mineral oil, but the other half is not xylene. A while back WD-40 had to submit a toxicology report and although they didn't submit the "formula", they did turn over the components. It's a stoddard solvent which is a mixture of numerous hydrocarbons. The blend has three components, 40% alkanes known as paraffins, 40% cycloalkanes called naphthenes, and 10% aromatic hydrocarbons. A complete list of the individual components of what's in stoddard solvent is not held by WD-40, that belongs to the Air Force (1989b) Quote Link to comment

Solvents just hold it in suspension and dilute it for spraying. To some extent it allows it to penetrate but but it evaporates and leaves........ mineral oil Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) The "WD" stands for Water Displacement. Where plain mineral oil would just sit on top of water, stoddard solvent is unique in that it is insoluble in water and at the same time about the same density as water. It literally displaces the water so the mineral oil penetrated to make contact with the metal surface rather than floating above it. Trust, I'm no fan of this crap, but it is a product invented and based in San Diego. John510 and I are from... you guessed it. Edited October 4, 2018 by paradime Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I'm all for humane treatment of all animals, specially the tasty ones. So these protesters keep those companies who police themselves a little more honest. Did they say Fearman's Meats??? Wow, when I was 7-8 I lived on a Fearman's Meats pig farm south of Hamilton. I even went to the plant in Burlington once. They made Mary Miles brand bacon. Mmmmmmmm ......... bacon. 4 Quote Link to comment
VFR800 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Not sure about USA but in AUS the meat industry is well regulated (it's just not a militia) ? so I am quite comfortable chowing down on any animal meat that takes my fancy. Not a buyer of the notion that the meat industry is a serious contributor to climate change either. 2 Quote Link to comment

Not a buyer of the notion that the meat industry is a serious contributor to climate change either. Extremely heavily regulated. My old job had me going to slaughterhouses pretty much every week. The onsite FDA guys usually were happy to have someone to talk to who spoke English ? 2 1 Quote Link to comment
