Default If it moves, Duct tape; if it doesn't...

The bell at Boston's Faneuil Hall was last known to have rung in 1945.

A few squirts of WD-40 fixed it right up.

It took a week with wd-40. It must not have been stuck too bad. An hour
with a real rust penetrate would have done it.

What's good besides PB Blaster and Kroil? Heard about CorrosionX but that
stuff is better spelled "Unobtainium". (Talked to a guy who claimed to
have all six cans in the state of Illinois at the time.)

I just did a search on ebay for CorrosionX and came up with at least
10 hits.
