Are the straws from cans of GT transferable to use on WD40?

[ianrauk]

Sure I saw something about swapping the straw thing on that programme Mythbusters.

Sorry, this is classic...

Up there with.
On a speed bump which leg should you use first, left or right?
and
Is it safe to leave my bike next to my vivarium light?

Surely if it's carbon it'll melt!!!

I've just finished a can of WD40 and am about to start on a can of GT but it has no straw. Are they compatible with one another or is there a special adaptor that I'd have to buy. I don't want to just try and force it in case it causes damage to either the straw or the "nozzle"
Anyone else tried this? What were the results.
Also do I have to clean the straw out first to stop any possible adverse reaction between the two products.

Being serious though, if you some some sugru or something to mould a little cap with a small hole for the straw it should work.

GT85 is thicker than WD40 so you would need to thin it first.

Do this by putting the can of GT85 in the oven at 300F for half and hour.

If only I knew all this beforehand - I went and bought a new can just to get a straw!

How many a week do you drink?

Sheesh get with the times. You don't drink it you spray it up your nose...Drinking it would be horrible.

Decant your WD40 or GT85 into a glass and drink it like a gentleman, not through a straw like some chavvy alcopop drinker.

Straws are where it's at grandad. Nobody drinks it anymore.

Moved to technical know how

I thought you were joking...

Led here via the stuffed crust pizza thread.....Fantastic thread. A bit of wee came out reading it. Every post a winner.

Wasn't there a straw poll on this a few days ago?

You're clutching at straws now.

Magnus Pyke (Don’t Ask Me) is bashing to get from out his grave to answer this one.

I think we should vote on this......

A straw poll.

I always lose the straws, so when I get a new can, I immediately cut the provided straw in half so I have a spare to lose.

I think we should have a straw poll about reading the thread (3 posts up) before posting?
