[Shop-talk] Separating copper

[Gerald Brazil]

I have two ideas.....one serious and one "myth busters".....

Try Kroil....the very best stuff I have found for dealing with anything
metal....

The second....Coca Cola.......people use it for everything else.....might
just work.  ;-)

Subject: [Shop-talk] Separating copper

Quick question, I have an antique split bamboo fishing rod that is
*suppose* to separate in the middle.  The problem is that they are stuck
solid.

I've tried WD40, and some other lubricants with no luck.  Heat really isn't
an option. 

So, any ideas?  I need to be careful, because I don't want to destroy or
damage the rod.  (I believe the metal tips are either copper)

Thanks.
