Well, after many years, I think from this afternoon I can finally say that I'm part of the club!!
So, it's lowers service time for the X-Fusions, and the absolute BEST thing I've found for Foam Wiper lubrication is the little bit of liquid you get in an almost empty tub to Slicko after it's been in the sun for a while (same as Slick Honey). Alas, my tub of Slicko is pretty new, so is packed full of grease, too much for separation to occur.
No worries I reckon! I'll just chuck a tea-spoon of Slicko in a very small ceramic container (think Creme Brulee dish) and put it in then oven. Surely at 80deg, nothing bad can happen.
So, in it goes and out to the shed I go to remove the lowers and get started. Come back in 10 minutes later to a certain synthetic kinda smell in the kitchen, and an oven with a cute little camp fire in it!!
Shit!
I grab the tongs, put the fan on super high and get that thing outta there! Now I figured that water would be a terribly explosive idea with boiling and on fire grease - I had a little "make my own candle" experiment explode when I was kid (hang on... I obviously didn't learn then!), so as I go to move the container into the sink to then get some dirt from outside to extinguish it...
Uh oh, dropped it into the sink and FIRE FUCKING EVERYWHERE! Detergent bottles melted, soap bottle melted, chopping board melted... Anyway, you get the idea...
Never thought I'd actually HAVE to use the fire extinguisher in the cupboard... But there you go!
Needless to say, the fork seals have now been soaked in 5wt and I'll make sure I keep a MUCH closer eye on things next time. I get the feeling, in hindsight, that the top shelf of the oven was perhaps a bit too hot... Maybe the lower shelf...
What's the worst than could happen! :O
