Sizing of pin bushings

[Tom Driscoll]

Gordon,
   An old timer recommended vodka as a source of alcohol and water. I've
been a protek man for quite some time but remember getting posititive
results with the cheapest vodka  I could find.
    I did leave the bottle on the bench once when a client was in the shop.
Not exactly the image we want to project !
