It’s a floor wax AND a dessert topping.

I’m looking at the current MSDS version on the WD-40 website, but it really makes no difference. I don’t think anyone wants to intentionally put petroleum products in our lakes and rivers. When have petroleum products ever been beneficial to aquatic life?
My original point was that the main ingredient in WD-40 isn’t fish oil and I think that several of us have busted that myth.

@mericaneagle
I appreciate the fact that you’re correctly referring to it as an SDS, not an MSDS.

Fish Oil is NOT an ingredient in WD-40. This is another urban legend that has been around for a long time.

Another IDO expert responds.
Knows more than the people who created it.

This site sometimes cracks me up.

This should be in the “best of” section. Must be getting his news feed and facts from Facebook…Damn Russians hacked WD-40 now!

My age is showing. When I was a chemist, which is several years back, a SDS was known as a MSDS.

It just changed a couple years ago. It only sticks out in my mind because I’ve heard of OSHA citations from using the incorrect term.

so MSDS stood for …….material saftey data sheet

whats the SDS REFER too???????

It’s now just a Safety Data Sheet. More streamlined and much easier to read. Most are also about 75% the length of the old format.

Are we looking at the July 20, 2014 version? That is the most current and it has no mention of any of that under ecotoxicity…

Possibly we are looking at two slightly different products, both made by WD40?
The SDS with the “other language” is;

1 – Identification

Product Name: WD-40 Rust Release Specialist® Penetrant Spray

Product Use: Cleaner, Lubricant

Restrictions on Use: None identified

SDS Date Of Preparation: 07/17/2014

It also makes a great cologne.

spray it on the bait for more bites, it works

Well, not only am I going to spray more on now……I also have a bunch of useless information for Trivial Pursuit. That’s why I love this site.

BTW, does anyone know what the 40 in WD40 stands for?

I believe it was the 40th formula the lab tried. Not sure where I heard that.

Winner winner, chicken dinner.

· 51% Stoddard solvent (i.e., mineral spirits: primarily hexane, somewhat similar to kerosene)

Wow. Hexane is a very effective organic solvent. Good to know.

Not trying to ruffle any feathers, but I am 40 years old, and have been using WD-40 for catfishing since I was a teenager. I can assure you with 100 percent certainty that is WORKS GREAT! There is no if ands or buts about it. If you say it doesn’t work or that it is just a myth, then you have never tried it.

My cut baits and live baits sprayed with WD-40 consistently out fish other baits not laced with WD-40. I’ve tested it many times over the years with people who didn’t believe it, until they experienced it first hand.

One of easy way to prove this is to buy 2 tubs of dip bait for catfishing. In one tub of dip bait spray WD-40 into it full stream for 5-6 seconds and then stir it up and then thicken the dip bait back up with flour. Leave the other tub of dip bait just as it is. Fish with the 2 side by side for a couple outings. See which one catches the most fish. Then you will see.

I have never tried it for any other species personally, but do know people that have used it for bass fishing and claim that it works well.

And yes it obviously leaves a tiny little bit of chemical in the water, but not even close to as much as a boat motor or jet ski does, and people don’t think twice about that.

Can’t believe I just read this whole thread.

Yes you can – it was informative and entertaining with just a hint of controversy. That’s like the perfect IDO thread.

Have you tried adding water and flour to a batch instead of WD40? This would tell you if it is the WD40 or the flour.

The reason WD40 has had success on fishing lures, according to Lake Superior charter captains, is because it is a cleaner. It does not attract fish, contrary to popular belief. The cleaning solution simply eliminates or minimizes the scent from you actually touching the bait/lure, the natural oils on your hands and any other smells that may rub off on the bait from your hands such as gas, oil, sunscreen, chew, dorito chip residue, etc.

I spray myself down with a heavy dose of WD40 before climbing into my tree stand when I bow hunt too…Works like a charm…

We use it on our baby’s bum when changing diapers…with the pressure it’s two fold, works like a bidet!

When I was a kid I caught chubs in the creek on a plain hook sprayed with wd 40.

This is my most favorite thread in a long time.

after the wd40 wore off they wouldn’t touch the bare hook then I’d coat it again and game on. You can’t tell me fish aren’t attracted to it.

Well, I used the WD40 rod in question today and got skunked on it. I used non WD40 rods and did pretty well.

I’m going with the assumption fish don’t like it…..the controversy continues I guess.

Matt, bring a roll of masking tape next time. Mask off 1/2 and spray the lure. See which 1/2 you hook up on.
