Thread: Elbow grease

Hi,

I can get Maas but have never seen elbow grease. Where do you guys get yours? I need it because I want to work on a couple of old blades

THanks

In an pinch, you can use heavy-weight motor oil instead of elbow grease - you just have to re-apply it frequently.

Well, that one you'll have to make for your self... Just grab the maas, start polishin' and there you go, in couple of hours, you have "elbow grease"

OK,

I am a bit confused here. According to Nenad it "appears" from Maas after some work, but Tom says I can use motor oil and just reapply often.

What would the benefits from one approach be vs the other? I mean, I have various weights motor oils already, and it would probably be easier than working a couple of hours to create something similar from Maas?

I am assuming you have to use only a drop or so, otherwise things are going to get pretty messy, and I am not sure how more oil / grease would help polishing old blades anyway

Thanks
Ivo

Ivo, they're pulling your leg. Elbow grease just means that you'll have to do lots of work with your hands. Motor oil has absolutely nothing to do with the polishing process. You could use it to protect your blades from corrosion, but mineral oil is less toxic.

Thanks, Ilija

I'm not sure who was pulling whose leg, but I enjoyed this thread tremendously
