[modeleng] Re: Releasing taper

Like Tel,

I have found that even the best penetrating oils will not enter tightly 
bound surfaces.  They claim to enter millionth of inch gaps, but when 
something has rusted tightly or otherwise stuck together, there is no 
millionth of an inch space existing, hence the oil does not enter.  If it is 
possible to get the tiniest amount of movement of the parts, then the 
penetrant is able to get in and do its work toward loosening the frozen 
objects. Having restored many antique gas engines over the years, I know 
whereof I speak ,err type!
