[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]You guys are funny. Jumping to conclusions and posting opinions as if they were facts. Come on guys; do the research before you spout off.[/#800000][/font][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000] [/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]WD-40 is NOT specifically listed by the EPA as being illegal for use on or in water. It does contain mineral spirits (Stoddard solvent) and LPG which do in fact contain hydrocarbons. However, the LEVELS of hydrocarbons in WD-40 are NOT sufficient enough to warrant a restriction of its use on or in water. It does not mix with water and will vaporize from water in less than 2 days on flowing water and in less than 7 days on still water. So its impact on the environment is negligible or non-existent.[/#800000][/font][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000] [/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]If you can find ANY reference from the EPA that specifically and unequivocally states that WD-40 use is illegal on or in water, then by all means post it here. A general statement about hydrocarbons isn’t going to cut it. There are hundreds of products being used by consumers on a daily basis that use hydrocarbons and are NOT causing destruction of the environment. I’m pretty sure WD-40 is one of those products. But hey, I’ve been wrong before.[/#800000][/font][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000] [/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]The WD-40 company does NOT recommend its use as a fish attractant regardless of anybodies presumed success in doing so. It does NOT contain fish oil in any manner, shape, or form. It is basically designed to clean, displace moisture, lubricate, and prevent corrosion. I wouldn't recommend it be used to lubricate precision fit equipment like firearm breaches because it leases a film that will collect dust/dirt which can then act like sandpaper when opening and closing the breach. However, it does do an admirable job of displacing the moisture and preventing corrosion on a firearm that has been used in the rain. It also works well on fishing tackle (rods & reels) to displace the moisture and salt by spraying your tackle right after they are used in a salt water environment.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]The only place that WD-40 would be illegal would be on a body of water designated artificial fly and lure only that has a restriction on the use of any bait/attractant while fishing.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Oh, I've never sprayed WD-40 on a lure nor do I intend to do so in the future.[/#800000][/font]
