I have an Ercol table that I want to refinish, top and base. It will be a lot easier to handle if I can separate the leg assembly from the top.
It's screwed to the top using slotted screws but they are quite rusty. I've tried my cordless driver but I think the corrosion is holding them too tight.
I have an impact driver, but I'm concerned this could snap the screws below the surface.
Any suggestions on how to remove safely? Is there an oil or something like WD40 I can use to free up the corrosion?
