ACTS ABOUT WD-40

[Richard J Kinch]

Nonsense. The functional ingredients are no secret. The non-functional fragrance isn't disclosed, but so what.

[Richard J Kinch]

The same could be said of aspirating water. Lethal.

Can't we assume you're not going to put the liquid down your windpipe?

I repeat, what about this stuff is hazardous in normal uses? Nothing.

[BinaryBillTheSailor]

How much WD40 can you drink in one sitting, Richard?

What about WD-40 as protectant for out part of firearm barrels? My correct e-mail address is gno52 (not gn52) Fake adddress given to avoid spams

WD-40 is a no-no on firearms . It will remove the bluing

[TURTLE]

This is Turtle.

The worst thing you can use on a gun is WD-40. If you put it on the gun, in 60 to 90 days the protection is gone and you back just like it had nothing on it. You have to reapply it atleast every 90 days.

The best gun oil to use is Remington Silicon gun oil. It will stay on the metal for almost 5 years before it wears off. This would be with no use, but if you use it. reapply after each use.

[Richard J Kinch]

People drink hydrocarbons all the time, sold as mineral oil laxatives at the pharmacy. Light hydrocarbons are an aspiration hazard, not an intestinal poison.

I'm sure that the electrochemists that donated their time and efforts to the restoration and future corrosion protection of the Statue of Liberty would be happy to know that they could have been replaced by a can of WD-40. ;-)

How long does this "protection from the elements" last? Minutes?

How much WD40 can you drink at one time, Richard?

BB

[BinaryBillTheSailor]

From the warnings printed on a can of WD40:

Ingestion: CONTAINS PETROLEUM DISTILLATES (their caps) Harmful or fatal if swallowed. do not induce vomiting. Call physician immediately. Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes. Skin Contact:Wash with soap and water.

They also point out that - INHALATION OF VAPOR OR SPRAY MIST MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL (their caps)

The original claim made here was that "there's nothing in a can of WD40 that can hurt you.

The difference between "medicine" and "poison" is dosage.

[Richard J Kinch]

This standard warning for petroleum distillates is motivated by the aspiration hazards, NOT INTESTINAL TOXICITY.

[m Ransley]

Rich kinch there isnt a dam thing in WD thats safe for you, its all oil by products , all poison in the proper dose, Read the warning label bozo. Or cant you seee the words "FATAL" relating to breathing or swallowing.

[BinaryBillTheSailor]

One more time Richard... How much wd40 can you drink in one sitting? You are wrong, and too small to admit it. You have a history of being contrary for contray's sake. Grow up!

My headers are fine. Perhaps you've been aspirating toxins again.

BB

[Richard J Kinch]

Your headers are flawed, so is your toxicological nonsense.

[m Ransley]

Kinch the grinch you are a tard. What on the label of wd40 cant you understand , " inhalation of VAPOR or MIST may be HARMFULL or FATAL " Do you get it yet bozo.

[BinaryBillTheSailor]

What exactly about my headers has you in such a tizzy, goofball?

WD40 is mostly poison. You have yet to present anything to prove that assertion wrong.

C'mon Asshole, answer the question that proves you are an idiot How much WD40 can you safely drink? You CAN'T Answer that question without admitting that you are wrong and a fool.

BB

[Richard J Kinch]

No, it is not toxic in the usual chemical sense. It causes aspiration pneumonia if inhaled as a liquid into the lungs. Because of its low viscosity and surface tension, it will likely be accidentally inhaled if swallowed. THIS aspiration hazard is why petroleum distillates are always labeled "harmful or fatal if swallowed", NOT due to toxicity.

By your logic, water is "poison", because it can also kill you, if aspirated.

These are the facts. You apparently can't follow this. Moreover, you are full of baseless insults and anonymous spew. All of this indicates a debased, cowardly intellect, which deserves no further response.

[Richard J Kinch]

Correct. The same may be said of water. Neither is toxic, although inhaling water, or WD-40, can kill you.

Show me a warning for water Mr Butt Head Kinch the Grinch
