So this info I posted that the WD40 company had to supply the EPA with is a lie?

Main ingredients, from the material safety sheet are:

50% Stoddard solvent (mineral spirits, also commonly known as dry cleaning solvent),
25% Liquified petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant, carbon dioxide is used now to reduce considerable flammability),
15+% Mineral oil (light lubricating oil), and
10-% Inert ingredients


Ok...You showed me its uses and I don't doubt that. But you didn't show/post where you got reliable information to prove that it was made up mostly of fish oil...

Could you supply some credible sites?

There is a popular urban legend that the main ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil. Although it is unknown whether the formula contains fish oil, material safety data sheets for the product show that the main ingredient is Stoddard solvent, not fish oil.[4]

This info from my perspective in not proven nor disproved. Frankly it does'nt matter if one tries it or not. Just passing infomation on recieved from a friend. Not such a big deal to me.

Don't know about the ingredients, but I have heard from various fisherman (mostly freshwater) that WD40 helps when sprayed on a lure -- theories have been that it is the oily trail it leaves or that it hides the human scent. Never tried it myself on lures...

[brokenline]

i dont know , or care whats in it, but i do know that it helps when im drifting for flounder.. i guess it is the oily trail, i sray just a little on the bucktail, and it works for me.

this guy at hayman street near the pier had some one a salt and pepper grub and he tore the trout up while no one else was catching them. i did some research and found no source that it has fish oil though.
