Storage of WD40

[momatt]

I left a can of WD40 in the garden over the winter and it rusted. The valve didn't depress and it didn't work. I didn't want to throw a 3/4 full can into the trash, so I bought a can of WD40 and squirted some into the valve. It worked a treat.

The can itself is rusty and ancient.

Is this irony?  It sounds like irony.

No, it's aluminium(with a tin coating).

Aluminium is a bit irony.

Glad these puns are keeping you all on your mettle. ZIN-C!!!

[momatt]

Yes, they've truly galvanized me for the day ahead.
Especially that last one.

I was beginning to feel a bit brassed off, but I'll solder on.

No it's not, iron is (ironies).

These puns are gold, I might steel them for myself.

Iron is iron; aluminium is a bit irony.

It's all getting a bit tungsten cheek here.

If you're feeling charitable you could put the WD40 up on freecycle.  They snaffle up WD40 there.

Don't nickel of them

Stop it now.  You're making a tit_anium of yourselves.
Screw this, I'm going _ch_rome.

You're all being lead up a blind alley.

You're all being lead up a blind alloy.

Fixed.
Fluxed.

Knock it off with the puns, already! My patience is growing tin. I'm calling the coppers, and they'll have every lead they'll need to find you and lock you up!

WD40 is the gentle semen of the gods.  I have a can that I've been carrying around for years in a bag on my wheelchair.  I used a small amount to mend a fidget spinner last week.  The can itself is rusty and ancient.  Conclusion: keep it wherever the fuck you like, apart from in the oven.

Would you please consider at least buying a new can of the stuff? You're making me worried.
I probably shouldn't tell an adult person on the internet whom I don't even know what to do, but I would hate to read the headline "WELSHWOMAN KILLED IN WHEELCHAIR VIKING FUNERAL" and know that I didn't even try to prevent it.

FISH FACT.

If you spray your bait(worms, mussels, flys etc) with WD40 the fish go mad for it. I went fishing for pike at the local dams and someone I trust told me this. You can test it by spraying some in a goldfish bowl (if you have one).
