Ahh... good point Roger..again tho...this is much less a problem with
conservative amounts. And on older beatup up hammers I cant see this as much of
an issue anyways.

I have seen techs just drench the heads with this elixer. All kinds of nasty
things can happen.. but with just a few drops... not much problems beyond the
time factor.

Still, I prefer steam..
