Al,
I would strongly urge all to not use Liquid Wrench! The darn stuff is
designed to "creep"! It will gum up any flanges that it comes in contact
with. I recently did some experimenting with the stuff. My conclusion is:
Don't use it! Same goes for WD-40 and the like. Oil makes wood spongy. Not
what you want to achieve imo.
Just my take on it.
