Re: WD-40
Works great as the explosive propellant / lubricant for a Potato Gun.

He found that Rave Extra Hold #5 hair spray was the best propellent, just had to clean the ignitor off after a couple of rounds!

WD40 acted as a barrel lubricant. Awesome... used to shoot it off the roof of the Fraternity House at another's House across the street. Cops finally came ... No Chrome braclets but they took the Spud Gun... probably to play with themselves!

Re: WD-40
My buddies fired off a tennis ball inside the house in the long hallway. Needless to say, it came back at a rapid rate! They got out of the way, but the window did not!
 Perfect hole through the center of the plexaglas! They also used some other projectiles and fired off toward the dorms. Something to the tune of 2-300 yards!

Re: WD-40
WD used to be great for flamethrower antics, but they've changed it since. If the rolled edge (top) is narrower than the can, it's the less flammable stuff. A rolled edge that protrudes slightly is the older, and therefore better, stuff.
This is just a small excerpt from my non-existant book: How To Spot Good Stuff At Garage Sales - Pyro Edition.

Re: WD-40
While at a Salvage yard recently,I was trying to remove some pulleys from an engine.I couldn't get the bolts to move,so I asked the attendant if he had any WD-40.
He comes back with something called AeroKroil,that quickly freed up all the bolts as well as other items on the engine. I was so impressed with it,I wrote the contact info down... HERE. This stuff is like WD-40 on Steroids!

Re: WD-40
Yea but does it use PROPANE as a propellant?
