[TowerTalk] Aluminum Boom Lubricant: Yes or Nope?

[Alan Swinger]

I never tried AlumSlip, but have used Penetrox, Just took apart the 32 ft boom of my 4 El Steppir which has been up and together since 2010 so it would fit on a buyers trailer. I used standard penetrating oil which I sprayed on the joint and bolts 5-6 times over a 2 week period before needing to take it apart. It came apart with a twist and a pull w/o any problem.
