Who's hungry for some hardware?

I asked the dude at the lumberyard for some Tarn-X.

He asked me if I own a crock pot. (I do.)

Then he asked me if I own a dishwasher. (I do.)

Turns out that a little dish detergent in a crock pot of water set to high overnight can strip hardware. Who knew?

In my case, it removed the grime from my kitchen cabinet hinges and latches and pulls, only to reveal the rust underneath. It was a useful excercise, but I still need some Tarn-X. And a new crock pot.
If you see me at the church potluck with this slow cooker, don't eat my food.
