Default removing frozen ST. Stl. screws

When I rebuilt my airplane there was a bunch of galvanic corrosion
between the Al and steel parts, bolts, etc. The magic pill was
Absorbene Jr. or some sort of liquid horse linament. I dabbed the
stuff on twice each day and after a week the frozen parts came out
with little fighting. Good luck.

I have a tiny melded ss screw which captures the rigging in my
aluminum spreaders. Been soaking in Kroil, diesel, wd-40 etc all
winter. Tried a heat gun, propane torch, some impact, patience, foul
language, nothing,.. please post if you find a magic formula.

Hi maybe you can help....three of the screws is frozen on the traveler

screw head? The traveler is aluminum. I also have a deck organizer
Schafer with frozen flat screw heads into a iron embedded backing
plate.

their aluminum Frame also heating the Silicone glue
