Which type is no longer working? It shouldn't have any affect on a standard receptacle. If it shorts out the electronics on a GFCI then that could stop it from working. Why did they do this to clean them? I remember as an apprentice cleaning energized receptacles with alcohol and steel wool.
NO, I WON'T !!! (Next thing, you'd want me to pull your finger...)
Not as much as inspectors do, I bet.Being a maintenance electrician , I'll view this post as a tiny win since we usually get a good bit a smacking around on the forums.
thanks.
I read a story once where a telegraph operator at a small train depot was instructed how to clean. Hot water, cotton waste and kerosene were used for everything. Kerosene was used in the toilet followed by hot water. Cotton waste soaked in kerosene was used to clean windows. Someone I knew once described WD-40 as perfumed kerosene...You tube shows it's used to clean the dirty ring in the toilet bowl
As a kid i would use it to free up the rust on crank bait treble hooks.My question is how someone would even think of using WD-40 as a fishing lure attractant. LOL
I've used bait lure that came in a spray bottle. Some of it smelled similar to WD-40. I expected it to smell like dead shrimp or something like that. But the smell was not awful.My question is how someone would even think of using WD-40 as a fishing lure attractant. LOL
I had wondered the same thing after witnessing my salmon fishing guide spray everything down with WD-40, and came to the conclusion that it was likely an accidental discovery after addressing rusted lures. They swore by it and I have to say, everyone on our boat limited out right away and we had to go home early. They said it was due to the smell, but I can’t imagine anything in nature that might smell like that. But then again, I’m not a fish.
I heard that too, but it’s an urban myth.
