      @reigninoel 4 роки тому +26

      You left out how to put the emblem back on the lighter. Superglue?

    • @sinformant
      @sinformant 4 роки тому +11

      Check out "deep creep" penetrant spray by seafoam. That stuff makes wd-40 seem like water when it comes to getting through rust and getting things loose.

      Awesome results, great job! Not to be petty but you left out how you attached the emblem at the end....epoxy? JB Weld? Just kind of curious because that's the only thing I could imagine giving you any issues going forward? I'm sure you did it right but I'm curious how it was attached. Thanks!
