A Jig-A-Loo can

Jig-A-Loo is a brand of lubricant and water-repellent spray manufactured by Jig-A-Loo, Inc. The manufacturer states that it contains no oil, grease, wax, petroleum distillates or detergent and that it doesn't stain or smell after application. It is indicated for use on wood, metal, glass, rubber, leather, fabrics and most plastics.[1] It has been used in the commercial and industrial sectors in Canada since 1958.[2]

Jig-A-Loo is primarily composed of heptane. It also contains methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, isobutane, and propane.[1][3][4] The lubricant was used in rowing to lubricate rowboat seats, but was banned from the Royal St. John's Regatta in 2017, causing controversy.[5]
