No rosin, use some sugar

I wanted to take off a RRA NM float tube but didn't have any rosin and didn't want to wait to order some. I read that rosin from a music store would work but didn't feel like making the trip. So I read you can use sugar, just plain sugar and you know what it worked!

I just put plenty of heat on the tube to melt the Loctite and put some sugar on the strap wrench and slowly the tube turned.

I may stop at a music store when I go by one and see if that will work, its less than 5 bucks for a small block or I may get some off Amazon but I need to add some more stuff. I don't like to order just one item.

Now the barrel nut. I have the receiver blocks but this is probably swimming in Loctite so I'll borrow a reaction rod or buy one. Don't want to mess up the receiver.

Happy Veteran's Day!
 
Sporting goods store that has baseball gear. Get a "pitcher's bag". Powdered rosin in a cloth bag. Dust the barrel blocks / barrel and store the bag in a ziplock until next time. Usually costs 4 or 5 bucks and is enough to do many, many barrels.
