(Yeah I know the lubricant is actually flammable, but will it decrease after a day or so?) Ta.I'd blast it with CRC till its dripping and then blast it again 10 minutes later just as much. Next step, go out for the weekend, or use the nuke/wok/whatever you have to cook with instead, and keep a window open cause CRC/WD40 stinks! :D	personthingy (1670)
