A friend says he tried it and it works. Certainly worth a try next time you find yourself in a similar situation right?

Yes,, a pal that worked at Advance Tank and Boiler showed me that trick about 35 years ago, He gave me a big block of bees wax. I've used it on all sorts of projects. Works every time. Great Tip there.
 
Nuts rusty and stuck? That's kinda personal. Come on. You knew someone would throw this out there. Lol
 
paraffin wax from canning section of grocery store! nuttun new this trick been working for years and years...
 
I been doing that for at least twenty years. I generally don't take tech tips from guys working in dirty shops with nasty floors, if they aren't wearing shoes.
 
I only posted the tip for those of us who don't already know everything. To those of you who do, my apologies.
 
Now I'll see if it will help remove some bolts on a window regulator bracket that I've been soaking and cursing for days. Thanks for posting!
 
I refuse to use anything Bed, Bath, and Beyond my Budget sells for working on cars. I'll break it with an impact first. Nah. I'll have to try this next time.
 
On the lighter side ....
Its not visions of sugar plums but instead, visions of blistered thumb dancing in my head.
The long grille lighter would be worth the few coins or the few extra steps to go grab it.
Maybe when the camera crew is on the clock he cant take a minute to grab a better tool, or even his shoes.

Geez, you guys are tough! I'll bet the idiom "bitching about a cloud in heaven" was inspired by some grumpy guy on FABO!

OK so I should have put more LOLs in my post. I meant to laugh it off, not jerk it off.
So... Once upon a time ( 40 years ago this week ) I was driving through a apartment complex ( visiting a girl ) when I saw something too strange to comprehend or to ever forget. There was a Chevelle on a bumper jack, wheel removed, and a little Jack Russell like mutt standing there licking the left rear brake drum.
Long story short... the drum was stuck to the center register. The owner had reheated some old kitchen/bacon grease and poured it on there. Yeah it was winter and yeah the stuff gelled right up on the cold cast iron.
 
Red, my response was tongue in cheek as well. It's all good in the FABO hood
Merry Christmas Everyone
 
DusterDaddy thanks for posting this for some people that don't know. Learn something everyday! Merry Christmas also.
 
Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to try this in our farm shop and impress everyone with my skills!
 
Is there any particular scent that works better than others? Or does it just depend on what you want your nuts to smell like?

Not sure,

But I have been applying flame and melted wax to my rusty old nuts all weekend. I have been using birthday candles. That way it's like a celebration
