Tempermental screws
Ok, wanting to unscrew the bases on my dining chairs so I can recover them, thing is it's oldish and I think the screws are kinda like semi rusted stuck. How can I best get these unscrewed??

Re: Tempermental screws
CRC would work, but if you dont have any, try tipping dish liquid over screws, leave a minute or 2 and then try.

Re: Tempermental screws
ok dish washing liquid doesn't work. Still haven't gotten round to ringing Mitre 10, don't have much of a voice at present either.
What about likes of an electric drill?? Or do they drill holes only?? Can you get electric screwdrivers?? Maybe one of them would work if I can find someone to borrow one off.

Re: Tempermental screws
Yep electric screwdriver might work. Trying to think of other things I have tried. Rub soap over and around screws.
