    I know this subject has been hashed and rehashed
    so will first ask if anyone has maintained summary
    on the subject nd if so, would you mind forwarding
    it to me.

    My particulars:
    I have three seacocks that are frozen in the open
    position that are being stubborn. I have, over the
    past few months, sprayed them with WD-40, various
    teflon concoctions, the works. Then would lightly tap
    (make that CAUTIOUSLY) with a small sledge...to no
    avail).
    They are fairly accessible so that's not a problem
    but before I try some more "exotic PT Barnum" stuff,
    was wondering about personal tricks, tips and etc.

    TIA,
    David
