Found a great Youtube channel

Hey hope your all ok.. as per usual when doing little work wise, I end up on youtube.

Many videos later, and I've found a channel that ticks alot of boxes for most of us who like to use tools and or try fix things.. So I thought I'd share.

(Hope this is the right place mods)

Spent large portion of morning messing around with damn washing machine.
Can’t turn tap off to remove hose and check inlet/outlet (as advised to do by the red flashing lights on the machine).
Removed large grey plastic tap head (at least 45yrs old) but can’t move the nipple with pliers either, might penetrating oil get it moving?

I mean get it moving without causing leaking.

Interesting video.  I've always found penetrating oils to be pretty hit and miss,  I'm not an engineer but I work on the assumption that if the oil can't actually penetrate past the bolt to get to the rusted threads stopping it from moving then its a waste of time .... what I did used to do, with some success, on old Landy's was to use a heat gun and sweat the bolts loose, obviously that can't always be done but it is effective.

It might. I've always found PlusGas to be excellent. It usually works straight away. It it doesn't add a second dose then spray with WD40. The WD40 being a dispersant tends to drive the PlusGas into the joint. On early 1970s cars which were rustbuckets it only failed me once.

 Thanks again! Plusgas tin or aerosol?

I've always used it in a tin but an aerosol might be more convenient. A tin would last for years.
