• 0:40
  standing by next half hour, just asking what is your favorite w D forty
• 0:46
  life hack and share one or two of your favorite uses beyond the obvious.
• 0:53
  I mean, we know it's a lubricant, and we know that it's kind
• 0:57
  of a protectant in certain but there are allegedly thousands of uses for this stuff.
• 1:04
  I'll get to some emails coming in as well, but first let's go
• 1:08
  to the phone lines. And standing by waiting to share is Rutledge. Hello,
• 1:14
  welcome to the Morning Show. Good morning Preston. You can use WD
• 1:19
  forty to remove tree sap from your vehicle. You've used w D forty for
• 1:26
  tree SAPs successfully? Huh? Absolutely? How long does it take you?
• 1:33
  If you have a big thing of tree sap normally pine sap on your vehicle,
• 1:37
  you can spray the WD forty on it, wipe it with a microfiber
• 1:41
  cloth and it comes off with a matter of seconds. Interesting, I've had
• 1:46
  more success with good old rubbing alcohol with tree sap. Well that works too,
• 1:53
  But you use so any other uses that you've found and did you find
• 1:57
  it accidentally or did you hear about it? No? I'm a mechanic by
• 2:01
  trade. Okay, who I always grabbed the closest thing to me, and
• 2:05
  it's usually w forty. I also use w D forty to remove the water
• 2:12
  out of my distributor on my older vehicles. Okay, there you go,
• 2:15
  because it is a water displacement. Yeah, very good, nice, thank
• 2:21
  you, rad. Let's appreciate the phone call. My friend freeze up the
• 2:23
  line eight five zero two zero five w FLA, George, good morning,
• 2:29
  Good morning, Preston. How are you, sir? I'm terrific, So
• 2:31
  tell me about your w D forty lifehacks. I've got two. One is
• 2:37
  really cool. The other is as cool as well as us fun to watch.
• 2:42
  But the first one is to spread on the underneath your lawnmower and the
• 2:51
  grass that you know, the dried grass, the muck. You get a
• 2:54
  fund of their right it won't stick and that works. And uh, fellow
• 3:00
  that owns the lawnmower shop cells and repairs and all told me about that one.
• 3:07
  And you you know, you spread it under you know, two or
• 3:10
  three or four times a year. But it works because even with a good
• 3:15
  power hose, it's hard to get that stuff off and then it'll lead to
• 3:20
  rust. So so do you just do you wipe it in? I mean,
• 3:23
  obviously you've got a clean underdeck before you spray it on, But but
• 3:28
  do you wipe it in or you just spray it and leave it and head
• 3:30
  it off? You go, you just spray it and leave it and and
• 3:34
  uh, let it it'll it'll it won't dry completely. But like the w
• 3:38
  D stands for in WD forties, water displacement and uh, it doesn't allow
• 3:44
  it to stick and it doesn't allow the wet grass to I guess coagulate and
• 3:49
  uh, but it works. What else? And the other is you you
• 3:53
  know, people who have made millions on on trying to keep quarrels off your
• 4:00
  bird fader the poles. That's the fun one, and it works. Do
• 4:04
  the same thing. I do the same thing. That's hilarious. It is
• 4:11
  fun to watch it is. It is fun to watch because they get so
• 4:15
  frustrated. Yeah, yeah, that's that's my fun one, that's my entertaining
• 4:19
  one. This is the m a D Radio Network where we challenge you to
• 4:25
  make a difference in your world. M A D again it, you know,
• 4:30

• 4:43
  hour, taking your calls and your emails. Preston at iHeartRadio dot com.
• 4:49
  Your favorite uses for w D forty, George shared a an actual use that
• 4:57
  creates some entertainment value. And that is especially when you watch a squirrel jump
• 5:02
  to a pole holding a bird feeder and they grab it and then they just
• 5:06
  start sliding down. It's just funny to watch. Let's go to Vann,
• 5:14
  who's been standing by. Good morning, Welcome, Hey you there, Yes,
• 5:19
  sir, Good morning, Preston. This is a w D forty hack
• 5:25
  that I don't suggest nor recommend. However, the elderly gentleman from whom I
• 5:29
  learned it or by it. I had a girlfriend in high school and we
• 5:32
  were visiting her grandparents one day, and I watched her grandfather take the canna
• 5:36
  w D forty while sitting in his lounge chair and sprayed it on his knees
• 5:40
  and rubbed it in. And I went to my girlfriend and I said,
• 5:45
  your grandfather spraying w forty on vs. It's he all right? And she
• 5:49
  says he's been doing that for years. He swears by it. He says
• 5:53
  it helps his knees, he gets up, walks around, and it does
• 5:57
  what it claims to do. It lubricates rusty hard the moves going. I'm
• 6:04
  so glad you gave that disclaimer on the front end. I do not recommend
• 6:09
  what I'm about to share with you. Oh my goodness, gracious, that's
• 6:13
  hilaric. Did you have you ever broken down and just tried it on Anankee
• 6:15
  joint? Uh? No, because he has a warning on there this has
• 6:20
  contains petroleum. Just lets you not to drink swallow, you know, let
• 6:25
  him the war got you, Van, Thanks very much, I appreciate that.
• 6:30
  Let's go to Dan. Hello, Dan, thanks for calling in your
• 6:33
  w D forty life hack or hacks. Hey, you're more impressed on.
• 6:38
  My daughters used w D forty to remove the tangles out of horses manes and
• 6:43
  tails for twenty years, so almost like a conditioner for horsehair exactly. It
• 6:53
  works on work in the tangles snarls loose to tornadoes that get in the mains
• 6:58
  and it leaves a nice loos thing shine and after you wash them it's just
• 7:01
  soft and silky. Wow. So they spray it, brush out the tangles
• 7:09
  or whatever, and then wash it out. Don't leave it in there,
• 7:12
  ye, No, you can leave it in I mean I buy it six
• 7:15
  or eight cans at a time. Sure. Now my grandkids are using it
• 7:18
  when doing the horses. That's amazing. I love it. Anything any other
• 7:25
  uses well, I have used it to work on uh, take a lighter
• 7:32
  and put in front of it to spray to knock out a wash desk or
• 7:35
  hornet's desk from a distance. That's your flamethrower. Huh yeah, thanks very
• 7:43
  much, Dan, I appreciate you you're sharing that. Let's go to Paul.
• 7:46
  Hey Paul, thanks for calling in from the distance. That's your flame
• 7:50
  throw. Hey Paul, turned down your radio, buddy, Hey you there?
• 7:55
  Yeah, you gotta to keep your radio turned down, brother, I
• 7:58
  got it. I'm just call in about w D forty for sure. And
• 8:03
  the us I have best for it other than lubricating wrenches and uh and bolts
• 8:09
  is the I use it for a killer of both wood wood boring are the
• 8:22
  wood boring wasp And the other thing I use it for is if you get
• 8:26
  any kind of a fighter up in a hole, you can spray up in
• 8:31
  there. You'll kill him, but it sure kills anything that's woodbearing and any
• 8:35
  of the that type of bees. Thank you, Paul, I appreciate the
• 8:41
  phone call, my friend. Yeah, eight five zero two zero five w
• 8:43
  FLA is the number. We'll take some more calls here in a minute.
• 8:50
  Spraying it on any wood handled tool keeps the wood conditioned. It acts as
• 8:56
  a repellent so that moisture doesn't get in and start to rot the wood away
• 9:01
  and cause splinters. That's that's a use. He talked about spiders and bugs.
• 9:07
  If you've got a corners and things, Apparently it keeps spiders from wanting
• 9:13
  to get anywhere near an area that's got WD forty sprayed on it. It's
• 9:18
  also been used too well to cause certain beasties to move on. For example,
• 9:26
  allegedly, a boa constrictor was found in an engine block. The guy
• 9:30
  sprayed WD forty in there, and the snake left. I'm just saying I've
• 9:37
  got some very practical uses, not so avant Garde to share. It's been
• 9:43
  used by law enforcement to get a thief out of an air conditioning duct when
• 9:48
  he got stuck. That's a natural lubricant. It's allegedly great to take gum
• 9:56
  out of hair or off of shoes. Anything you've got on the bottom of
• 10:03
  your shoe, you scrape it off. Anything left, you spray with w
• 10:07
  D forty and it just helps it come right off. W f LA on
• 10:11
  your phone with the iHeart Radio app and on hundreds of devices like Alexa,
• 10:16
  Google Home, Xbox and Sonos and Ihearts Radio season you can use w D
• 10:24
  forty to loosen stubborn lego pieces. We're talking about life hacks with w D
• 10:31
  forty. Taking your calls and callers are standing by. Let's go to Gary.
• 10:37
  Gary, thanks for calling into the Morning Show with Freston Scott. What
• 10:41
  are your life hacks with w D forty. Well over twenty years ago.
• 10:46
  I don't even know if Field of Stream still has a magazine, but I
• 10:48
  read in there that you can spray w D forty on your bait and fish
• 10:54
  and the oil actually extended the scent of the bait and help the fish.
• 11:00
  I tried it. It worked, really Yeah, dude, I'm so desperate
• 11:05
  to catch fish, I might take it by the gallon and dump it on
• 11:09
  my fish on my bait. I thought about when I was thinking about that,
• 11:18
  I know you're always talking about you can't catch fish. Yeah, I
• 11:20
  catch a cold easier than I could catch fish. All right, buddy,
• 11:24
  thank you so w D forty on your bait. Yes, and it worked
• 11:30
  for you, it did. I'm wondering do you think fish and Wildlife would
• 11:35
  have an issue with throwing that in the water. Well? It was Infield
• 11:39
  and Stream magazine. Okay, the article interesting. They're all about, you
• 11:46
  know, the outdoors. Yeah, yeah, protecting the environment, no doubt.
• 11:50
  Gary, Thanks very much. I appreciate that one. Roger, where'd
• 11:52
  you go? Let's go to Jody. Hey, Jody, thanks for calling
• 11:56
  in. Hey, Preston, Yeah, I got three quick ones. I
• 12:00
  learned this one from a guy years ago on the job site. He was
• 12:05
  painting and I was like, what are you doing. He sprang the WD
• 12:07
  forty on the glass well on a rag and he wipes it on the glass.
• 12:11
  So when he paints, if he gets any on the glass, it
• 12:13
  doesn't stick it just you can just wipe it right off. Oh wow,
• 12:20
  okay, yep. You can also use it to take off you know stubborn
• 12:24
  stickers that have been on there for years, right that it loosens that gummy
• 12:28
  stuff right up and just just sprugs right off. And the final one would
• 12:33
  be the front of your car. You can spray it on there, just
• 12:35
  put a little rag and kind of wipe it on there. Because it is
• 12:37
  love bug season. You just wipe it on there and built they won't stick.
• 12:45
  I'm glad you shared that one, Jody, because that was on my
• 12:48
  list. Thanks so much for calling in and sharing yours. Yeah, spray
• 12:52
  it on your grill and the front of your car, the headlights, lamps,
• 12:58
  bumper. Wipe it on there and they won't stick, and if they
• 13:03
  do, they come off easy. That's that's that was good, especially seasonally
• 13:09
  good, very seasonal. Phone called there. Let's go to deb Hi Dab,
• 13:11
  thanks for calling in. Good morning. What you got. Well,
• 13:18
  we have two things we use it for. I use it in the kitchen
• 13:22
  to clean the outside surfaces of my stainless steel appliances. It works great and
• 13:28
  it's a lot cheaper than stainless steel cleaner. And then my husband uses it
• 13:33
  similar to what George said with the squirrels. We have trouble with ants getting
• 13:37
  in our hummingbird feeders. But if you spray the pole with w D forty,
• 13:43
  the ants can't march up the pole. Really even works on the ants.
• 13:46
  I knew it worked on the squirrels because of their weight. I wasn't
• 13:50
  sure about ants. Yeah, but you have to spray after it rains because
• 13:54
  they are tenacious little butters, those ants. Yeah, no kidding. Hey,
• 13:58
  let me ask you a question when you talk about your stainless steel appliances,
• 14:01
  because I saw that on a list as well as a way to get
• 14:05
  the fingerprints and all the whatever off of stainless steel appliances. Do you spray
• 14:09
  it on a rag first and then wipe it or a paper towel, or
• 14:13
  do you just spray it on it? I have done both, but when
• 14:18
  I'm in a hurry, I just spray it directly on there and then take
• 14:20
  a rag and wipe it and no oily residue behind. I do put like
• 14:30
  an old rug in front of the appliance because if it hits on your floor,
• 14:33
  you will take a slide. Yeah, no kidding, All right,
• 14:37
  deb thanks very much. I appreciate the phone call a few other little things
• 14:41
  here For those of you that are artists out there, it is said that
• 14:46
  an interesting textured base is created using w D forty on a canvas, and
• 14:52
  it helps make a unique liquid cell shoe if mixed sparingly with acrylic paint.
• 15:00
  That's according to the brand on its website. A few other little little goodies
• 15:03
  here. Obviously, it removes stuff from cars, leaves your leaves shiny on
• 15:11
  artificial plants, removes crayon from walls, carpet, toys, plastic, compressed
• 15:16
  wood, et cetera. Cleans gunk and scuff marks off your ceramic floors,
• 15:22
  keeps your garden tools rest free, rest free. That's important, the garden
• 15:28
  tools, all your connections and all that stuff as well. I would imagine
• 15:31
  cleans and polishes golden brats. Here's one that I've used it for hardwater stains
• 15:39
  in the bathroom, in the shower, also for cleaning your toilet bowl.
• 15:43
  It actually works. I had unbelievable success with hardwater stains in a shower.
• 15:52
  So there you go. Just some ideas. W D forty part of everyone's
• 15:58
  tool, at least it should be. And no, I'm not getting paid
• 16:03
  for this segment. Although we ought to be time for news,
