[TowerTalk] CATV hardline is sticky

[Jim Berry]

Hi Kevin,

It has been over 5 years now, but I ran into the same sticky
situation.  I think common kerosene did the job (lamp oil), or
lighter fluid, paint thinner of some kind, maybe even goof off.  
Had to be something handy, because I did not make any special
trips to get something special.
