Hi all,
Just encountered a problem with a couple of keg lids and I thought this would be the place to ask the question.
I was just given 2 kegs by a mate that is no longer using them. Looks like they haven't been used for a long time. I had to get some seal kits and give them a good clean out which i've been working on today.
When I removed the lid seal to replace it they have been sitting for so long the plastic seal has glued itself to the lid (probably due to the heat in our area). As a result I have plastic around the top edge of the lid that I need to remove. I was thinking of boiling the lid to soften the plastic but theres the plastic seals on the legs to think about. I could use a screwdriver but It'll probably scratch the crap out of it.
Does anyone have any advice on this one?
Cheers,
Newts
