Helpful Hints

If you pour 500ML of 140 wt gear oil down the side of your motorcycle lift and onto the wooden shop floor in 40 degree weather it is VERY hard to clean up.

The secrete is a harbor freight heat gun! Within seconds, a three inch circle liquifies and can be dobbed up with a rag. Works on metal or wood. Repeat until it quits beading up.

I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

Hey MS, shouldn't there be a comma after 'oil' and before 'silly'? :lol:

Good tip. I'm sure my Crappy Tire (Canadian Tire) one would work just as well, and be nearly as cheapo!

Do check for hidden oil on your lift. It can sneak up on you. Give it a thorough inspection! :ugeek:

Notice how cleverly he turned it around so deftly? Shheeesh.
