The gun shop owner hadn't seen one in 15 years then he gets in two a week apart. My son couldn't decide which one to buy, I suggested he buy both (jokingly) and he does.

LFD Serie 2000 number 8 while banging on a couple of heat-corroded bolts in the pottery kiln. I have tried penetrating oil to no avail, so the next step is cutting the bolt head down from 11/16ths to 3/8ths to get some bare metal for the socket wrench. Any wrenches with a better idea, please let me know.

Oh, and excellent LFD cigar.
5/8ths??
And brake fluid will sometimes works when a lot of things sold as penetrating oil won’t. Is it in a safe position that burning off the corrosion would be an option?
@Rdp77 Oh. My mistake.I am overtired and have brain fog too. I am just taking a 1/16th off
I will give brake fluid a try. May try a torch to see if it will work with the rust. If nothing else the heat may help. The kiln gets up to 2300 so no problem heating the bolt up.
Thanks for the tips.

@ShawnOL you are most welcome. Hope you’re enjoying it.
A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.
For the ride home courtesy of @Vision , thank you Pete!!!
Pro tip.....Don't forget to cut the cap before trying to take a draw.
First time I've ever done that.
Doesn't the tip have to come from a pro before it can be called a pro tip? LOL
Smoking my first S&S compliments from @rsherman24 Thanks Sherm!

Helded up well. Had a kinda sour citrus taste going on, but in a good way. I know I've tasted it before and liked it.
Done with this dank day.....
Thanks, Joel @CheapSmoke !

Been awhile since I've had one of these.
