in a pickle any machinists?

Is that a shot? I have never claimed to know everything or able to do everything. But when someone posts a problem that I have successfully been able to resolve on multiple occasions, I will always offer my assistance in any way shape or form.

Sorry for being an automotive enthusiast.

Several ways to skin this cat. All of the fixes that were posted have worked for the guys who posted them. Funny cause I had just bought my TIG Welder the week before I had my problem. If I did not have a TIG one of the other fixing scenario's would have been put into play. I have never heard of your trick before and I am sure at some point in this game I will be using it for sure....On my way to buy some crayon's and put in my tool box!! haha

Its all good!!:D
