I multiplies like dust bunnies! I tied my Jeep door on in downtown Carson a couple of years ago when it fell off in the Craft Market parking lot...worked pretty good.

Us regular trail riders find great uses for WD-40, hay string and duct tape as well. A friend of mine made a shoo fly out of haystring; I've used it to connect front girth to back girth, repair a bridle on a ride and my daughter even made a quick bridle when she wanted to use a different bit on the fly. I use WD-40 in a pinch to detangle "witch's knots" from manes. I also LOVE zip ties! They work on fencing, tack repair, to hang a bucket, etc. I had never heard of using it for arthritis…maybe I’ll try some on my knees before a ride.

Used to spray it on liberally every a.m. and evening!! Now, I haven't tried that... YET, but the way the body is going on the "bone front" I may be able to give an actual testimonial to its effectiveness one of these days! WD-40 also works on jacket zippers that have become encrusted with sweat and other goobery things! 4 things I always have in my saddle bags: super glue, iodine, a good army knife and leather strings....with those items, you're a trotting "M.A.S.H." unit! You can poke, glue, disinfect and reattach all along the trail. come to think of it, that's how I do it at home, too! My old granny swore by WD-40 as a remedy for her arthritic knees!!

I have all types. Sticky, sew on, double sided. I use it to wrap items together, fasten down saddle pack that flop or bounce, keep map cases folded, on tack as "keeper" straps. Two pieves attached to a halter, with your name and phone number make for quick horse ID tags. And right now, my camper is sporting some duct tape on the side where the siding got scraped, and I have a rip in the side of te camper. it is staying well, and keeping the water out!
