An old timer at work told me to use Crisco when tapping, he hasnt broken a tap in 20 years. I Have tried it myself and thought it was interesting and wanted to share

    I’m confused by your statement. I think you are missing some contractions.

    It works, but tap oil designed by engineers for the material you are working with is going to work better.

        I wouldn’t eat Crisco either. I think they have changed formulas to something that might be better, but last I checked 20 years ago it was full of harmful trans-fats.

      Agreed, I’ve tapped some nasty materials - 1 tap per hole nasty - and the fluid change gave me the more than 8 holes for the same new tap.

      That really opened my eyes to engineered fluids.
