I don't know about delicious, but damn the stuff does work w/o damaging the aluminum. It's obvious the before and after pictures (hey I'm still learning how to do this post stuff...). Thanks for the suggestion. I found it at the local Tractor Supply. Not unreasonable cost. The things one can learn here on the bs website...

That looks more better. Wish we had a Tractor Supply close by.

WELL, DAAIMIT !!!
There's a broken off FLUSH EZ Out in THERE TOO ! Mother F~©\<R from someone else trying to get the Electrolysis locked in stud out !

This where being a EXPERIENCED Rusty Iron Junkie, these things happen.......
But Capt has Bag of Magic Tricks from experiencing this Kraap before.
YES you can get FLUSH Broken Off EZ Out Outta There !!! And to make it Fun, this is a 5/16" stud.
That little piece in pix is the tip of the EZ Out.
