Nope this isn’t for some bawdy 1970’s sit com.

Aerosol lubricants. What’s your go to in the garage?

What a great innovation this is. I stopped using WD40 years ago. This gimmick got my attention though. Bendy straw for the win!

Never tried it but I have heard that acetone and trans fluid mix works better than aerosol can gear.

If a gas axe won't do it, you were never getting through anyway. That said I aim for red not white and dripping

I've been having great success with break away lately.

And that's mostly been on 70y/o bolts. Or at minimum 25years untouched.
