[TowerTalk] How do I separate seized antenna tubing?

Hi, Richard

Try lightly heating with a propane torch. Should get them apart quite easily
with the heat.

I am trying to disassemble an old Mosley Pro-67A so that I can upgrade
it to a 67B.  Several pieces of the antenna tubing will not separate on
the 67A.  The problem seems to be an excessive amount of old dried
Penetrox which has formed a hard glue-like substance.

Does anyone have any suggestions for separating  the tubing?

Thanks,

Richard
