Since you know there are Penetrox particles (it is zinc dust plus castor oil per the MSDS) between the tubes, I'd try to wick some PB in there, let it sit for a while and then work it back and forth to loosen up the dried up Pentrox. Repeat until the boom comes apart. The Penetrox'd 3" booms here put together 7 years ago, came apart easily, but at some point the oil evaporates away.

When assembled 20 years ago I used Penetrox on them so hopefully they are not welded together. In fact one of them separated 1/2 inch then stuck. Would there be a "penetrating oil" that would help to free/lubricate these joints to make the separation easier? > > Thanks and 73, > > Rod, VE7VV > > > _________________ > Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband > _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
