Snow Shovels


All righty, I found myself shoveling several inches of heavy, wet snow yesterday. I was using a metal shovel. My question is, is there a way to keep the snow from sticking to the shovel? I think I remember way back I heard something, like spraying the blade with WD40, or putting car wax on it or something. Any clues?

TIA

Re: Snow Shovels


PAM or Armor All. I was in the same boat today. I was using an aluminium grain scoop to shovel out where the plow curled up the snow/ice mix along the vehicles in the parking lot. Armor All worked well for me.
