MYTH (vs) FACT
A dear friend of mine Clara, emailed me some information regarding WD-40. It included many common uses and functions of the product. This sparked an interest in finding out just what all of the fuss was over WD-40?

What is the main ingredient in WD-40?
- MYTH: WD-40 contains Soddard Solvents (synonymous with mineral spirits). What was referred to as soddard solvents years ago was a harsh group of mineral spirits that today have become re categorized according to their level of refinement. WD-40 does use mineral spirits in the formula. But the more refined distilled version provided by today's modern methods of purification. 50% mineral spirits within the content defined by today's standards is what you will find in the WD-40 recipe. Which is nothing like the soddard solvents of yesterdays other harsh product lines.
- FACT: WD-40's main ingredient is refined fish oil. This is true and has even promoted the spraying of fishing lures by fishermen who swear it attracts the ichthyological critters. WD-40 strongly states that they do not recommend this use, as WD-40 should be handle as you would any petroleum based product.
