Installed a cat back exhaust for a friend today. When he asked if he needed to bring anything special, I told him to bring a pack of birthday candles. When he wanted to know why, I showed him that if you heat a rusty bolt, and then melt a candle into the joint where the bolt, and nut meet, it usually allows easy French free disassembly. I also told him about the Brake cleaner burn treatment for preventing blisters when you get a burn. Now I'm wondering what other tips and tricks are out there?

Unfortunately got to show this to my buddy/Tool fetcher. He grabbed one of the just heated, just removed nuts. When you make a hi temperature mistake like this spray it immediately with brake clean, (the chlorinated kind that the tree huggers dislike seems to work best.) It flash dries quickly, cooling the burn, and it strips moisture, so is usually prevents blistering.

Brake cleaners, chlorinated or not, contain nasty solvents, almost all of which are carcinogenic. Some of these can pass through healthy skin and target various organs. This is normally a concern with prolonged exposure, but in this case is being sprayed on already damaged skin. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't recommend it. Try some of that sissy Aloe stuff instead.  |

Lots of reasons why it works. thumbs up on the aloe, we have several beds around the house, sliced a finger to the bone last year, grabbed a leaf and squeezed the juice in the cut and taped it together, 4 days later could not hardly tell it was cut. the stuff works. |

I got blood poisning and almost died a few years back from brake cleen. I was working on some equipment and was using brake cleen with an open cut on the top of my hand. The next morning i could see all the veins in my arm up tp my arm pit, the veins were bright red. I drove myself to the ER where they proceeded to shoot my butt cheeks up with multiple meds and then told me i was lucky because if i wiuld have waited just a few more hours it would have most likley been to my heart and would have killed me. So i dont ever use any chemical for any injury.

Can't imagine any good would come from using a chemical solvent on an open wound or burn.

Obviously, the brake clean trick isn;t for severe burns, but I've used it for fingertips etc. Is the best thing , no. Does it work in a pinch yes. Ive used aloe alot, but its not handy to keep around when working under a car....

mustard will help on burns of all type. Had a friend burn himself on the muffler of a chain saw, but mustard on the burn and no blister and it cooled the burn right down  |

A fresh killed carp, preferably caught in or shot with a bow from cold water. Filleted, skinned and the "strip of red meat" cut out can be damn good. Specially when it's grilled over an open fire on a river bank. The looks on the faces of the city people in "rent a canoes" when your son comes across the creek with a huge carp spouting gouts of blood and a bow and fish arrows is priceless too.  Buttt...., WTH is Troof? |
