Dontcha just hate it when the topic goes off on a tangent, and nobody changes the subject line? Let's get back on track!
Since many coil forms have a waxy surface, it often helps to direct a flow of very warm air around the form while applying slight torque with the proper tuning tool. I made an adapter nozzle for my Weller heat gun that allows me to direct the hot air to a small area, without heating adjacent components. This usually works, but I then must use a wire brush to clean the threads of the core, which now have melted wax in them. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michel-A Allard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:michel-a%40sympatico.ca> > To: <[email protected] <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 9:04 PM Subject: Re: FW: Read: [Repeater-Builder] Stuck cores > Well you all showed that you're computer experts, now can you > get back to the topic and tell me if anybody have a way to > safely "unloose" stuck cores without breaking the cores??? > > I will be interested to read your reply on this one!!! > > 73, Michel
