I like PB Blaster, but the problem is that you can't use use a
"little" of it - the way it comes out of the can, it's like a flood.

Do you use the small plastic tube that attaches to the nozzle? *That
helps some. * I also have learned to hold a folded paper towel behind
what ever I'm spraying. *

I recently freed up a pair of bronze turnbuckles that had been exposed
to salt spray and not adjusted in many years. * They were totally
green and frozen. * It took about a week of PB Blaster application,
hammer tapping and coaxing but they both turn freely now.

Half the time I lose the stupid little red tube thingy. :)

I wonder if there is a market for little red tube thingy's? *:)

The stuff does work - I'll give it that.

The new WD-40 cans have the thing built in the nozzle, flip it one way
for no straw, flip it the other for the straw!

Really. I didn't know that.


Yuppers.. And I go through at least two cans a month. First time I saw
it I was a bit unimpressed, but since using it, I consider it genius...
Somebody should have thought of it long ago...

Check it out:

I love it...


I like it. Wonder how long the tube will stay in. Great idea,.


Well, it's permanently attached and I have gone through at least a dozen
cans this summer, no detached tubes so far... We use the stuff all over
the bikes, from chains each ride, to cleaning plastic. On particularly
muddy races we use it on the plastic and metal, particularly the number
placards, keeps the mud from sticking so you can be tracked on the
course...
