To Mr St Eptoe.

Ive been looking at previous threds and found this from you...

ROUNDED OFF ALLEN/TORX HEADS ?

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....
EZ GRIP friction drops (aircraft)....

So Mr St Eptoe sir, would you still recommend this product....Thankyou Tosh.

It does what it says.. Helps "bits" grip in the bolt head. Remember, helps. If it's rounded it can't help.


I've got a new bottle, the old stuff dried out.

Fine grinding paste will do the job.
