Savvy Secrets – More WD-40!

“One only needs two tools in life: WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop.” – G. Weilacher

About 5 months ago we brought you a list of ideas, Savvy Secrets, on how to use that very popular household product, WD-40.  They were a big hit with many of you, in particular two of our favorite chums, Gene and Gloria.  This past weekend they told us all the different ways they had used (and quite successfully too) their can of WD-40.  They asked for more ideas and ways to use WD-40.  Always wanting to be helpful, we have more great WD-40 ideas for Gene and Gloria and all our chums:)
