Re: Coca-Cola - Was rusted screws ??

["Michael DeLuca" <mdeluca@xxxx>]

I was told that coke has a pH of about 2 thus it is very acidic (but 
then so is your stomach which has Hydrochloric acid in it). The other 
trick that is supposed to work great for loosening rusted bolts is to 
put Hydrogen peroxide on them. I have never tried it but I was told
it works great 

Don't forget the Fall Foliage Tour (Oct 20,21,22)! Right now people 
from NY, NJ, PA, CT, RI, MA, NH (and maybe OH, Ken? ) will be 
attending, for more info go to
