alexander72 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 A bit weird this one but today I was working at a house for an old chap.... long story short had to change a few bits on the chipper and couldnt get some anvil bolts out.... Out came a tin from the 1970's (Aerosol) called "Rapideze"...... worked a treat..... The can said "Rapideze releases components rapidly and easily with it's compelling action" The old guy used to make it at a factory in Market Harborough to a secret recipe..... He hates WD40 BTW So has anyone used it, heard of it? Answers on a post card - or on here for speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 wrong dangler. I used Plus Gas in the 60's It was in tins with a thin, long spout in those days,Mainly an acid but, yes, it does work. I've got some and bought it over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
