Two Things You Never Run Out Of
When you live 30 minutes from the closest town and something breaks on a Sunday afternoon, you better have two things on hand... duct tape and WD40. They're all any real man needs to qualify as a mechanic, plumber, carpenter or electrician. Most kids know that Daddy is the invincible man if he has WD40 for his squeeky bike tire and duct tape to patch his inner tube. With these two staples on hand, any man can be a hero; and without them, well, he's just another guy. ;-)
If you Google various uses for duct tape and WD40 you will come up with hundreds of ideas. Some of them are very inventive, some are practical and useful, and some are just down right hilarious. I'll post a couple links for you to peruse at the end of this article.
Here's a list of the funniest duct tape uses I read ...
Repair holes in jeans. (I think this is our son's favorite.)
Tape it to your butt - makes a great sled in the winter. (Glad he never thought of this one.)
Handcuffs
Fix the toilet seat
Wrap it (sticky side out) around furniture legs to keep cat from clawing. (You could start a new decorating trend with this one.)
Use for contruction when nails are in short supply. (That makes me feel safe.)
Hair remover (Ouch!)
Waterproof clothes
Secure your dog at a picnic (How about a cat? "Here, Fluffy!")
Repair expensive clothing, from the inside, of course
Use as sticky notes
Attach multiple layers to bottom of doors to prevent drafts
Use to secure partially severed limbs (Ouch, again.)
Makes a great gift for any man who wants to be his kids hero
And, here's my favorite... use it for what it was made for: to repair heating ducts! (Go figure!)
Now, what about WD40? How many uses might it have, you wonder?
Here's a list of the funniest, though some useful, ones I read...
Spray on new leather shoes to prevent blisters (Who knew leather could blister?)
Unstick Lego blocks (See, I told you Dad can be a hero.)
Removes super glue from fingers
Spray on your finger if you can't get your ring off
Insect repellant and roach killer
Unstick wobbly shopping cart wheels (What every mom carries in her diaper bag, right?)
Spray on joints to relieve arthritis symptoms (People swear by this around here.)
Relieve bee sting pain
Keeps flies off cows (I'm sure the cows appreciate it.)
And my favorite...
Use to remove stuck prosthesis
