[TowerTalk] Taking Apart Aluminum

[Roger K8RI on Tower]

I use WD-40, or Kroil.
I purchase WD-40 in gallon cans rather than the spray cans and use a small 
"oil can" as an applicator.  Give the joints and screws a shot, let set a 
good 24 hours and then if necessary another shot.

I don't think there is any "sure fire way" as some times Aluminum just galls 
and the two pieces become one, but usually the Kroil, WD-40, or "Mouse Milk" 
which is a real, but expensive  product, work well.
