(Rust Reaper who is a long time sponsor of this forum)

I've never been able to find their ad on this site. I see Jeff gave their Web Address, I'll check it out.

[Jeff]

Um... They sponsor this board you posted this in.

WD-40 works great at getting grease and pine sap off of clothes.  I had a pair of denim shorts sitting around for weeks that had a big glob of sap on them after wresting with some white pine.  Soaked the sap with WD-40 and worked on it with a putty knife before running it through the wash.  Didn't get 100% of it (still a little staining), but that hard patch is gone.

That's a little dangerous washing clothes with WD-40 or petroleum in your clothes. But a little spot probably isn't all that bad. A laundromat blew up one time here when someone washed his diesel soaked overalls and tossed them later into a dryer that used natural gas. The whole side of the building blew out. No one was at the place waiting at the time. My washer has a warning on it not to dry anything with oils or petrol in them. Boom!

  Jeff you shouldn't hide those adds in such an obvious place ;D

 I have not used Rust Reaper but will be giving it a try. Salt water wreaks havoc on a lot of my gear. The problem that I've had WD-40 is that it carries away any protection the metal might have and if that's not replaced, the rust sets right in. I've found a product called Fluid Film that works very well as a protectant and lubricant, it's lanolin based. Has anyone tried SeaFoam Deep Creep?

ok jeff, i see the second one while looking thru the site. but that first one you pointed out never shows up on my screen.
i was looking at the column of sponsors when i posted that though.

It may just be the way you navigate the forum  If you click on the forestry and logging board, it will take you here:

This is where you see the first picture.

[Jeff]

Its disturbing to me that you may have over looked the Rust Reaper logo, so I've updated it. Hopefully its more noticeable now. Its bigger and a different color.

I can see where that may be a problem, esp. in a gas dryer.  I don't have a gas dryer, and I hang my clothes out to dry anyway  ;)

i can see them now jeff.  ???

[Jeff]

All I did was replace the image with a different one. Some reason you were just looking past the old one.

Jeff: I (for one) almost never come in through the front door- I usually just leave whatever thread I've just finished open and come back to it next time I need to... that means I never log off, either, which might make some think I'm always lurking in the shadows when in reality, I'm just mostly lurking in the shadows...

The who is on line list only recognizes you if you have clicked on something in the previous 15 minutes. If you are gone longer then that, even though you are logged on, you drop from the list. As soon as you click on something and start a data flow again, you are added back to the list.   Many people think that if they don't "log off"  Their name stays on the list. That isn't the way it works.     If you take more then 15 minutes to make a post, your name will be gone until you hit the post button.

Thanks, and I'm baaaaack... as was said in some movie by somebody who made it sound funny...

Ive used mystery oil with some sucess Wonder how that compares? Definitely going to try rust reaper Wd 40 also works for starting fluid

[PineNut]

WD-40 is better as a starting fluid than as a penetrating oil. I will stick with rust reaper for my rusty hardware.

I believe in the remake of "Cape Fear", when Robert De Nero comes back to taunt Nick Nalte's character and family. Did you know Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck from the first one were also in the remake?

I also believe it was in "Child's Play", when Chucky returns from being mutilated.

[SwampDonkey]

MikeP and Jeff came through with some applicator kits at the roast.




Poor Jeff about put his shoulder out tossing the first two and had to ask Tammy to take over the "treat toss".  ;)

I switched to Acetone/ATF mix about a year ago. It's about a quarter the cost by volume and works great. I was using a lot of PB Blaster, not anymore. WD-40 is basically Kerosene and fairly useless as a penetrating oil. Good light oil though.

[aksawyer]

I know about rust reaper thing but when Iam in a bind with nasty broken off bolts or locked up sprocket shives I grap the Kano  Areo-Kroil to keep things working my way.Aksawyer

[beenthere]

RustReaper has convinced this die-hard Kroil fan to switch. In more ways than one. The RR beats it. ;D
