WD40 - Penetrating oil ?
Is WD40 a good penetrating oil to use on a stubborn sheet metal screw that is located inside an electric walloven ? I am wondering what the odor will be when I eventually light this oven off once again ? Will the WD40 eventually evaporate? I hope that it will before being heated by the oven. Problem is also that the screw is located at the top inside surface of the oven; so, the WD40 is not going to be sucked upward, is it ? I have the whole oven now out of the wall cabinet. Thinking that I might be able to rotate the oven 180 degrees vertically, and then squirt some WD40. The screw is a cross-tip Phillips and somewhat stripped now, and is one of two screws that secure the Broil element to the oven ceiling. UGH ! All this effort to remove the broil (top) element in a (1974 era) Whirlpool single oven and I am now at a standstill. de ~ Vince ~ :Long Island: .. |
