Title: Removing studs
Post by: joel8080 on June 05, 2019, 02:38:16 PM
I have a full accurate jigmaster and I want to put longer studs in the frame, I can not budge the studs it looks like they were put in with JB Weld, any Ideas on how to break them free without striping the threads or should I just move on to my next project?.

Hey Joel, not sure how you are doing this but I've had some success with sauntering iron where I couldn't use torch.


Still waiting pics of your deckhand build! :)
