Re: WD 40
As already stated, it seems like a case of very successful advertising of a very inferior product.
A bit like Republicans getting behind Trump.

This new fangled decimal coinage still doesn't seem quite right.......

Re: WD 40
A quick update; WD40 does not contain fish oil, and should not be sprayed on fishing tackle that is cast into water, because it will cause damaging pollution.
I asked on a well known fishing website.

Re: WD 40
I often use both WD40 and GT85 in my brother's bodyshop, for helping to release/aid the fitting of rusty fasteners, fittings, etc.
I suspect it's mainly a psychological advantage it gives most of the time, but you do feel kind of 'dry' without using the stuff!
I prefer the smell of WD40 to GT85 though - the latter smells very synthetic; I think it's more of a PTFE lubrication fluid, so best reserved for bike/motorbike chains, etc.
The guy who works in the neighbouring unit, a sheet metal worker, uses Duck oil a lot.
PlusGas is probably best for really stubborn stuff.
