[Jukebox-list] Slightly OT: WD-40

[Jackie]

Jim,
yes, of course everyone must consider the substance and ALWAYS read first!! 
If it works on my shower doors I would be so happy, however I do have 
concerns about it going down the drain and into our Bay.  I don't use 
anything that is not biodegradeable, not even for a clean shower!  I will 
check the can first and thanks for the thoughts,
Jackie
