Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] WD-40 and similar products

Hi, gotta stick my 2 cents in here: used lawn mower motor oil will loosen
rust if the item is left to soak for days. i've seen many lawnmowers which
had broken rings and oil poured out the exaust if layed down, later you
could unscrew the muffler by hand!!!!! but without this treatment an old
muffler is real bugger to unscrew! cul brian f.
