Use milk of magnesia and you will have a Philips screwdriver.  Or prune =
juice and you will have a pile driver.

  I've used vodka before.  It works, and if for some strange reason it =
doesn't, you can mix it with some OJ and make another tool that will =
remedy the pain--a screwdriver!

      I like the vodka idea.   Does anyone know what the ratio is of =
alcohol to water?   I have a sluggish damper system to deal with this =
week.   I've tried Goose & Protek but it doesn't last, so I'm going to =
try alchol/water.  I suppose hair dryer would be helpful but I imagine =
it will wreck havoc with the tuning...maybe just the air moving no heat? =
  If I'm making it up myself, what is the ratio of alcohol to water?   1 =
part water to 5 parts alcohol.
