So, I was bottling a batch of Berry Beer tonight, and having some difficulty getting my bottle capper to work. "Oh hell," I thought, "is it time to plunk down another $30 for a new capper already?"

To make a long story short, I wandered out in the garage, to see what helpful home remedies might present themselves. I spotted a can of WD-40. Hmm, looks promising. Sprayed bottle capper joints with it.

And that, my friends, is why I'm kicking back with a cold one right now instead of still struggling with a stuck bottle capper. WD-40 is your friend. Take it out, buy it dinner & drinks, and experience the joy you'll have when your bottle capper is sticking. Hallelujah! :D

i saw a sign somewhere that said something like this:

a good handy man only needs 2 things- WD40 if it doesn't move and it should, and duct tape if it does move and it shouldn't!!

way to go, beerconn! :D
