i recently had to replace a couple of light bulbs on my ceiling fan. when
i went to take one out, the glass seperated from the part that actually
screws in... the second and third bulbs did the same.... it felt tight
(the connecting metal part) as i was trying to unscrew them. is there
something i could put on the metal threads to keep that from happening
again?

thanks in advance


Use squalene.

That's just a fancy name for "nose oil".

Rub the threads of the bulb against the side of your nose. Unless yopu've
got extremely dry skin enough oil will transfer onto the threads to keep
it from sticking.

If your nose is dry, try WD40.
