Subject:      Favorite Fluid for Unsticking Stuff
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I thought with all the problems people are having with drums, cylinders, etc, it was time for a new thread. Fluids we use to unstick stuff. My dad told me about stuff he used in the navy back in the 60's to undo rusty bolts, Oil of Wintergreen. This stuff will penetrate anything rusty and it is pretty harmless ( Same stuff that is added to Ben Gay ). I have used this on bolts that blow torches would not budge (72 Campmobile lug nuts). The oil of wintergreen usually has to sit for about 3 to 5 minutes, but it does the job. Feel free to disagree or whatever stirs your grits.
