Try to heat what the bolt is threaded into not the bolt.
Also try striking the bolt head a couple of times with a hammer.

Most importantly don't apply that "I'll just give a little bit more pressure before I give up" approach.....That will cause the bolt to snap everytime.

Thanks, Julian. Snapped a bolt this morning. There are 20 bolts that needed removing. Down to the last two and ran out of energy. Nixed getting the magic Kroil, didn't trust my driving because of fatigue. Maybe get it tomorrow. Tried the trusty persuader already. I think I may grind them off, drill and tap new holes adjacent to the troublemakers.

Re: Pipe tips for Cigar People, what we've learned...

Cigar coffins are often the perfect length to store pipe cleaners in. Also pipe nails, spare pipe lighters, my Perfect Draw cigar tool, and a short charging cable to plug my phone into my laptop. I even drew a ring gauge on the side of one of them. I may have to use wood glue on them soon.

Re: The useless information thread

The Cape has a wide variation in population due to tourists and summer homes. It is dead in the winter and throngs in the summer, so not much for full time people to do half the year and overtime in the other half and some part timers in the summer to help with traffic and bars.

So I took this picture on day one of the new job and it still looks like this. Knowing the snowball effect of inefficiency this creates and watching it play out over and over again this week I did a little research. “Hey, that’s costing you time and money! Fix it!” is too weak. Being my meme loving self I made this and think I’ll be posting it on the side of the machine.

Do you have a good video that you think does a good job teaching me how to use that machine?

Re: The useless information thread

in our town full-time officers make anywhere between 70K to 140K and additional overtime adds an additional 20% to that. Population of 17,000 department pay amounts to $5,200,000 and overtime about $998,000.
