WD-40 has so many old wives tales about it who knows what it is really for. Off the top of my head: lubrication, water displacement, loosening stuck bolts/penetrating oil, oil for sharpening things, solvent, cleaning products, assembly lube.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoThere's also some horrifying home medical "remedies" involving WD-40
- justinpombrio 4y agoIt also helps improve whiteboard surfaces! You can turn dirt-cheap white "showerboard" into a mediocre whiteboard by spraying it with WD-40.

- skykooler 4y agoWD-40 works great as a temporary lubricant. This makes it good for stuff like loosening bolts, and means that it will stop the hinge from squeaking - but after a while it will evaporate and the hinge will squeak again. This is why you want to replace it with a proper oil for anything permanent.
