[Public-List] Damn screws

[Kris Coward]

The blowtorch isn't for cutting (hence "non-melty ways"). Steel screwed
screwed into aluminum objects are particularly susceptible to geting
seized by oxidation, but since aluminum has a higher coefficient of
thermal expansion than steel does, applying heat will cause the
screwhole to expand more than the screw does.

Not so useful when there are flammable materials in the area, and
counterproductive in some cases (like stainless steel screws in cast
iron, but that's what dry ice is for)
