Or it may disapear. I'm liable to take a cross country trip and grab it. I just put the ford back together after snapping 3 of the bolts for the rear support on the swinging drawbar. Started drilling one, tried and easy out and it really didn't feel good. So I grabbed the blue point hot wrench, warmed them all up, and applied the beeswax, warmed again to get it in good and deep. All 3 took less than 5 taps with a punch and they were finger loose. Spun them out and was done in less time than it took to drill one, with a good bit!
Just wanted to come back and thank ya for the tip, I've used it several times and when the rain came, and drove me inside I finally took the time to drop this note.

yep, that melted beeswax can slip between the narrowest of rusty ol' bolts and loosen'em up. I've dissassembled several old rusty machines that way. Sometimes the old fashioned stuff works when modern chemicals like Kroll, PB-15, WD-40 don't. Glad it worked for you..... ..Dell
