I just serviced 6 spinners that were covered in salmon egg goo and heated Crosion X was the only thing that cut it.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

That's good to know. I have to get dried Squid juice off of charter boat spinning reels. That stuff is hard to get off.

I pretty much use WD 40 religiously. I tried Ardent reel cleaner and the smell was too strong. It would go through the whole house and then had to listen to my better half telling me it was going to kill me.  I think I could feel my liver reacting :D. Only use it to soak really bad parts and outside now.

Do vegans feel the same when mowing the lawn?

WD40 isn't bad for light cleaning, when I find grease as thick as tar I use this product:

It has never let me dowmn. This is also good on bearings, cleans them really nice.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

I always wondered what became of the 39 versions that preceded WD-40 . . .  Probably "Classified" - LOL !
