Alcoblog Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Haha! Eee, I think this would do the trick. Patently obvious really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Is it too far down for a pair of very fine pointed tweezers which are intended for removing ingrown hairs from inside the skin? If less than an inch or so in then I've probably got tweezers small enough to reach it. If not, have you tried removing it and tapping it face down to see if gravity will help you?

apelike Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Caustic soda will also dissolve a large amount of the ignition barrel as well -not a solution I'd try. Not unless the barrel is made of aluminium which I doubt as it too soft a metal, it has hardly any affect on iron, steel or most other metals. Caustic soda is used in the wood pulp industry to breakdown and soften wood fibres to make paper with so should work fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Wooden cocktail stick, thin and very soft, knock the key in and give it a good hard twist thus busting the stick up and starting the engine. Doubtful any damage will be done as the key and lock are much harder material than the stick. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Not unless the barrel is made of aluminium which I doubt as it too soft a metal, it has hardly any affect on iron, steel or most other metals. Caustic soda is used in the wood pulp industry to breakdown and soften wood fibres to make paper with so should work fairly quickly. It will go after zinc, tin, brass, chrome, bronze.... all of which are likely to be used in an ignition lock for the wear properties. Iron and steel are about the only metals I wouldn't expect to find in a lock. They rust far too easily. http://www.dow.com/causticsoda/offer/physical.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
