Geez, I remember Charlie, rough diamond but a good bloke. 1965 through to 1968 for me.

Loved talking to him about his days as a POW in Changi...reckon I learnt more from Charlie about life than anything they taught us at school...

...Before my time. I was there '85-'90. You might remember my grandma though. She was a cleaner there- Alice New and she lived over the road form the doughnut building.
Ted Hamilton was the male cleaner there when I was about.

My older brother and dad went there too. Dad '57-'61.

I remember Charlie though. He used to come around to my grandma's place...

Not THE Ted Hamilton of Division 4 fame?




That's Ted on the left.....minus propellant...

Back to your original question: no, WD40 doesn't go off (as already stated). Cut the can in half and apply the stuff with a brush or syringe instead.

Cheers

Did half of AULRO go to Jannali?

your can may be stuffed but you can use the liquid inside.

BUT...!!! WD40, RP7 and all those dont last long when used because they contain metho and it evaporates off the job. So if you want to protect metal use oil which will stay around, so in this respect it goes off.

So , open up the cans with a hacksaw etc and decant into a spray bottle?
