It’s such hard work when the Jeep hasn’t been worked on much and everything is rusted solid. Sooo much nicer when everything has a good bit of copper slip on it.

Copper grease is very underrated and underused

Not by me, I slather it on most things I’m assembling.

Me either, but most things I come to work on are missing this vital ingredient.
