[TheForge] Gotta froze-up Champion blower

[Ron Childers]

Xrust or Kroil is like liquid Navel jelly. Google Kano Labs. Xrust is used
by knife makers to etch damascus without rusting it. Kroil penetrates
1/1000,000th of an inch-

A friend of mine soaks stuck things in kerosene, sometimes spiked with
oil.

(If it's all steel and rusted, you're better off soaking off the rust
in weak acid.)

I have used PB blaster from the auto parts store. I spray and saturate
the blower several times over a few days until things start coming
loose.
