Keep a can of WD-40 in your kitchen cabinet over the stove. It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the burned feeling away and heals with NO scarring.

Remember, the basic ingredient is FISH OIL!

Did I read somewhere that the 40 in WD-40 came about as a result of success being achieved at the 40th attempt?
