[Jukebox-list] Slightly OT: WD-40

[Jackie]

Wow!  If the Corvair Company bought it, I'm all for it (being a Corvair 
owner, I knew they branched off into planes and other large motors)  There 
are several things I am going to try, the shower door is the first!!!! 
thanks so much, what helpful info,
Jackie
