Ok so it's science and trust me, I'm a 'tist. Basically, antiseize is sort of a rust and also base chemical. So we need an acid to start the chemical reaction of unlocking it (rather than just stripping it with a wrench).
That's because the first step in the seizing process involves the dissolution of antiseize and the surface into solution. The formula for this is:
Fe(s) → Fe2+(aq) + 2e-
The electrons produced by this reaction combine with iron ions in the antiseize as well as with dissolved oxygen to produce water:
4e- + 4H+(aq) + O2(aq) → 2H2O(l)
These two reactions produce water and iron(II) ions and creates a bond. YOU NEED TO INTRODUCE AN ACID WITH THE APPROPRIATE PH THE CANCEL THAT REACTION. The consumption of ions that occurs as the acid dissolves leaves a preponderance of hydroxide (OH-) ions in the metal. The iron(II) ions react with them and needs to look like this to unbond:
Fe2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → Fe(OH)2(s)
If that looks familiar you're right, urine. Since urine has the exact PH balance the unbind it you need to either submerge the upper in urine or at least pour it onto the upper a few times. Once you have, and there isn't another way to say it, pissed on your gun, it would look like
4Fe2+(aq) + 4H+(aq) + O2(aq) → 4Fe3+(aq) + 2H2O(l)
These iron ions are responsible for the formation of the deposit that gradually eats holes into the metal to bind will begin to release. They combine with the extra hydroxide ions to form iron(III) hydroxide:
Fe3+(aq) + 3OH-(aq) → Fe(OH)3
This compound dehydrates to become Fe2O3.H2O, which can be easily broken with a little heat from a torch and a wrench. Once it's off the remaining chemical on the barrel that's been peed on and heated will be
4Fe + 3O2 + 6H2O → 4Fe(OH)3
That can easily be cleaned with some urine, rubbing alcohol and a rag.
Thank you.
Try it with an seized parts of your rifle!
I literally came here to tell him to piss on it and I have clearly been outclassed. A little disappointed that you didn't have him wear an old t-shirt wrapped around his face as PPE in case of ammonia generation, but still... bravo.
This looks like you copied a science website and you added a bunch of random stuff to it. If you check the chemical formulas its just a few different formulas for varying stages of rust.
It almost like you're just trying to get this guy to piss on his rif....wait. Nevermind this all checks out. Piss then heat and a wrench will absolutely work. Forget I said shit
Will a 18” pipe wrench work ok? I don't have a torch but I can make a fire outside. I smashed an old car battery and scraped up the juice, hopefully got enough. Waiting till morning because that is when I make the best pee.
Let me check the science books about what peepee is most acidic
I thought it was pretty easy to tell by taste.
hit it with your benis
10-4 Benis is now also gray and shiny. Awaiting further instruction. (tried to zap BCG but too pointy)
Okay, now zap Barrel, clench cheeks, grab stock with toes, and twist.
I'm finally out of the hospital, it was quite the journey. It took two reassignment surgeries and a lot of magic mushrooms (the nurses called it something else) but thanks to you I have realized MY truth. Lawnmowers are holocost machines. If the field growing right against my house needs trimmed I simply apologize and gently trim it with hair sizzors.
I usually just lick it off, it has that wonderful metallic flavor that you just don't get too often.
Thanks. I tried it but my licker can't get the etches in the aero logo. I put peanut butter on it but I guess cats don't like it.
What you're gonna wanna do is wrap a potato in foil and set your oven to 350. Now put that in the oven. At about 45 min, get a skillet SCREAMING hot. Hot as the hell communists deserve. Now put a good beef shoulder tender in, cover that in Montreal steak and chop, sear each side about 2 to 3 min as it is a nice thick cut.
Now put that in the oven on foil for about 8 min. Just to get the middle hot now that you've seared in the juices.
Let rest for 10 after the oven and now cut, serve with potato. I like butter and sour cream both. Serve with beer.
For anti seize, heat gun. Or a hair dryer and a lot of time. Gentle, low and slow. Don't go too fast or you'll strip that shit or fuck it up.

chop?
Best unsolicited advice I ever got.
I really like beef shoulder tenders. It's honestly become my favorite cut.
If you're talking pork chops i reccomend about the same method honestly. Just gotta get it cooked but still juicy as hell.
Glad to help.
deepthroat it
Meth always says she can't because of "physical limitations"
Also my dick is super average
Take it swimming with you, preferably out in the ocean or some ocean-sized lake. The currents will make sure you get all the anti-seize out of the cracks, and you can finally have fun taking out the boat!
Just make sure to patch up those holes in the bottom of the boat from your last outing with JB Weld first, you wouldn't want to have a terrible accident that sinks you and all your cargo.
