Hi,
For those who care about such things, here's a bit of WD40 history from the UK site of this U.S. product - http://www.wd40.co.uk/index.cfm?articleid=31 Cheers - Joe |

Thanks for the URL!
I first started using it in the late '60s, when the company was still Rocket Chemical. My Colorado duck hunting partner got some from a friend in Oregon -- it wasn't available locally yet. I had an ancient semi-automatic shotgun that would jam from the combination of gun oil, powder residue, and zero-degree temperatures. The discovery of WD-40 was a breakthrough -- it was the only stuff I found that wouldn't result in jamming. Since then I've used it on everything from door locks to frozen slugs in UHF inductors. I have yet to see anything it'll harm. It's on my short list of Great Inventions of the 20th Century, along with latex paint and plastic drinking straws.
