Hi, I know this has been asked before, but here goes. While I was on leave, the taps on our voltameter seized open! I've tried all sorts of ways suggested including hot / cold water, paraffin, gentle tapping and the honey method described in a past forum (this actually worked with one of the taps) has anyone ANY other suggestions to 'unseize' the second tap. Any thoughts will be greatfully accepted. Thanks,Robdean and all the science teachers wanting to use the voltameter!!!!!

Er, Motion Lotion (KY Gel or vaso) or castor oil as above injected under pressure with a syringe will get the bugger moving!

Yes, but will it work on the Voltameter tap?
