    The ol wax treatment

    Where I work we have plumbers pipefitting and hvac services. We are are always raiding the wax rings to do that same thing. If it works on old steam pipes it will work on any other applications. Heat to loosen and wax to lubricate has saved me a bunch of threads over the years.
