WD-40 In Finishing/Refininshing Process????

[Mike Cutler]

I clean my contacts with it, then everything I've refinished with it looks better!

The one thing I understand about WD-40 and finishes, is don't go near a car painter with a can of it. You'll die a slow and painful death. One can of WD-40 in a body shop could ruin untold number of paint jobs. Painters get real upset if they have to strip and repaint a car. Jim.

A long time ago I used some Rustoleum Thinning Oil to mix with Rustoleum paint. the Rustoleum Oil is the one with the fish oil in it.

In the US, fish oil is not listed in the top 90% of ingredients.

Many years back I attended the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, a big livestock show where your best is shown for prizes. I got to walk through the back stalls where animals were getting their last minute "makeup" before presentation. I was amazed to see cans of wd40 everywhere and could spell it in the air. Apparently it was being use to make the coats look better.

WD40 supposedly contains DMSO a powerful natural solvent. It is often used on horses to loosen up muscles and help with pain. I use to know a heavy equipment mechanic that swore by WD40 as a pain reliever. He had his wife spray his back with WD40 every night. He is still alive so must not be to bad. I have used DMSO gel for pain and it works but is pretty hard on the skin. Far as furniture I have no idea. I don't think I would want to try to spray a finish over wood wiped with WD40.

Good Luck
