i had 6 head studs stuck in a K1100 cylinderhead, torx bolts that the torx bit just kept slipping out of and rounding off the edges.
They were the long type, you know the ones, that come undone in a series of "snaps" that jar your arms.
Then i remembered something that i had at the back of the shelf for years.

Fortunately it hadn't dried out. So i tried it not expecting it to work, this type of stuff never works.

Low and behold, the torx gripped like s**t to a blanket and the seriously rounded studs came undone.

The stuff does just what it says on the bottle.

 
if only i had that stuff whilst working on someones 650 :augie, Wouldn't have had to resort to drilling the head off to get the damn bolt out :blast
