Is it ok to soak bolts overnite in WD-40?

*1972C10* · 08-13-2004, 09:28 PM

Why wouldnt it be?

76bonanza · 08-13-2004, 10:02 PM

Who knows seems like when I think something is ok. It never is.

If you're looking to free stubborn bolts, use PB Blaster. It's actually a penetrating catalyst, and works way better than WD-40. Just my $.02, good luck

Yes it is ok to soak your bolts over nite. Don't soak your nuts over nite though, they might shrink.... :p

i work at Ace hardware and i agree totally.. PB Blaster is 1000x better for loosening nuts and bolts and you should only need at most an hour

and if that doesn't work, a dose of "hot wrench" will fix it up. nothing helps bust rusted bolts loose like the expansion from 2000+ degrees! make sure to let them cool a bit before tryign to work loose. sometimes that gives you the edge.

WD-40 is like american beer....... Ohhh I won't go there.

WD-40= Water Displacement formula try # 40. It was made for drying out ignition on automobiles and gas engines. Through great marking lies somebody decided that it would be the end all be all to everything from sticking muffins to loosening bolts....it's not.

PB blaster is the shnizle.

AeroKroil Is some good chit tooo but its like 10 bucks a can.

BeerMonkeY · 08-16-2004, 05:15 PM

pb is the best for removing stubborn bolts, however wd-40 works for everthing else (removing oil stains, bugs, tar from truck)

MylilBowTie · 08-17-2004, 04:54 AM

I have had real good luck with Kroil

bulky · 08-17-2004, 08:37 PM

You only need two tools.... Duct Tape and WD40. If it moves and it shouldnt, Duct Tape it.....if it doesnt move and it should, WD40 it!

SanitysBane · 08-17-2004, 10:32 PM

if you can't duck it, f*** it!
