\nI always feel a little guilty when more than half of a post is “lifted” from a listing of “things” somewhere. One of my friends posted these uses for WD-40 to my FB wall. Now, I use WD-40 often, but have never tried it for even half these chores. Here’s the list and at the end is the main ingredient in WD-40.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nI’m posting this today because I am doing a show. About 50 or more vendors gather in a huge indoor space and sell knitting supplies to the 2,000 or more knitters that show up. Collectively there is millions of dollars of merchandise on display. I’m sure I’ll come home with some of mine \ud83d\ude42<\/span>

\nHave a great day!!<\/span>
