    What a Fish story!

    Myth: WD-40 contains fish oil.
    Fact:
    Consumers have told us over the years that they have caught some of the biggest fish ever after protecting their fish hooks and lures with WD-40. We believe this legend came from folks assuming that the product must contain fish oil since it appears to attract fish. Sorry Charlie®, it just ain’t so .

    “WD-40 Cures Arthritis!” No Way.

    Myth: WD-40 cures arthritis.
    Fact:
    This popular headline, appearing at least once a year in the tabloids, is completely FALSE. WD-40 Company does not recommend the use of WD-40 for medical purposes, and knows no reason why WD-40 would be effective for arthritis pain relief. WD-40 contains petroleum distillates and should be handled with the same precautions for any product containing this type of material.
    It is a petroleum distillate ......

    Stoddard Solvent

    Myth: WD-40 contains Stoddard Solvent.
    Fact:
    Over the past few decades, the name Stoddard Solvent was synonymous with all mineral spirits. Today, the mineral spirits found in products like ours are more refined and processed (see hydrogenation, hydrotreating and distillation techniques) providing mixtures with varying boiling points, cleaning ability, and chemical composition.

    The catchall phrase “Stoddard Solvent” is no longer adequate to tell the proper story. WD-40 does indeed have 50% mineral spirits, but they are refined and purified for specific characteristics needed to meet today’s performance, regulatory, and safety requirements.

        I use it on my bicycle hinges on the car etc. Oh but that's what it's designed for. It seems many still go with these old wives tales ( That's not a sexist comment BTW ) :-) I've not had my chucks long enough to worry about Scaly Lags but if I had scaly legs I'd rub some Vaseline on them Oh and for my chucks I'd use the recommended veterinary stuff. Hahahaha

          I use johnsons scaley leg treatment(for budgies...) and vaseline. The silkies and pekins are very prone to this and I have started to get suspicious about the brahmas - should be fun...........they are very, very big to pin down and treat....
