15 useful life hacks with WD-40
VD-40 was developed to protect parts from corrosion. It has proven itself in all areas of application. At the same time, its manufacturers hide the composition of the product, even abandoning the patent.
This does not prevent many craftsmen from conducting a lot of different experiments with VD-40, finding out its additional qualities and features. It was thanks to them that the list of non-standard uses appeared.
1. Using VD-40, you can unscrew a stuck nut without applying any serious effort and without fear of damaging the thread. To do this, spray an aerosol onto the joint and use tools to unscrew the nut.
2. This product is great for removing permanent marker from leather or vinyl upholstery. WD-40 is applied to the contaminated surface and then wiped with a soft cloth.
3. This substance can also remove marks from black soles on tiles. Apply the product to the dirt and wipe it off with a rag.
4. VD-40 perfectly removes pencil marks on the monitor, but you should not apply it to the surface itself. In this case, it is better to slightly moisten a rag, which is then used to wipe the contaminated areas.
5. If you apply WD-40 to the blades of scissors, this will significantly reduce their friction, which will immediately affect the quality of cutting. It will be easy to work with such a tool even for several hours.
6. If you cannot remove the ring from your finger, then this remedy will help solve this problem. It is applied under the jewelry to the skin, which creates a slip that allows you to tighten the product. However, immediately after this you need to wash your hands under running water using soap.
7. Glass glasses inserted one into the other are very difficult to separate. Even with a successful attempt, abrasions and scratches may remain on them. If you add WD-40 to the place where they are connected, then removing one glass from the other will be easy and without damage.
8. When you remove a price tag or barcode from a hard surface, there are often residues of glue and paper left on it that are difficult to remove. Using this product, you will get rid of all traces of the label.
9. If you are using non-molecular glue that, as a result of work, got on the watch glass or other hard object, then there is a chance to quickly remove it without damaging the surface. To do this, apply VD-40 to it, which, together with the glue itself, is removed with a soft rag.
10. Chewing gum trampled on a fleecy carpet is very difficult to remove even mechanically. However, using VD-40, this can be done in a matter of minutes.
This product also works well to remove stains from ketchup if it gets on the carpet. It should be remembered that after using it, you need to use a regular household cleaning composition.
11. If WD-40 is sprayed onto a zipper, the slider will move along it more easily, since friction is significantly reduced. This will help close a tightly packed bag and temporarily eliminate the defect of such fasteners.
12. Try WD-40 on your skis. You will immediately see that their gliding level will increase significantly.
13. By applying this product to your shoes, you will protect them from exposure to water and dirt. This method is perfect for bad weather and can be combined with almost any material.

15. WD-40 helps get rid of insects. It is sprayed directly into their habitats.
This does not prevent many craftsmen from conducting a lot of different experiments with VD-40, finding out its additional qualities and features. It was thanks to them that the list of non-standard uses appeared.
