[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 187962, member: 3111"] Mollasses I havnt used before though its been reccomended to me for all sorts of restoration work ( I restored stationary engines for a little while ), but I used milk as I had no friend with a horse to get mollases off. Milk creates a bacteria similar to mallases and it helps to eat and loosen gunk. If you use milk it goes chunky and curdled and :8 barf Electrolysis worked on large iron parts in a bath of sodium carbonate I once fixed an old shelf clock which was siezed. I don't know if its great to use, but soaking it in homemade ethanol for 24 hours certainly loosened all of it. I could see visible wearing or eating of anything but I'm sure it would corrode something so use a small dab first if you were to test it [/QUOTE]
