WD40 makes a nice flame thrower so you need one less tool. ------Original Message------ From: [email protected] Sender: [email protected] To: [email protected] ReplyTo: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Liveaboard] Kroil Sent: May 9, 2009 12:48 AM

I have good results with a flame thrower to heat up the ice encased locks then spray it full of WD-40 when the water turns liquid. That gets rid of the water inside the locks. After that you can squirt in any suitable lubricant to keep the water out. After such a treatment it usually stays fixed even to - 30 below. Just pick a lubricant that doesn't turn solid at such low temps. (don't ask how I learned that lesson) _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
