Default Give it a kick?

I have some pretty weak crank and would like to know if there is anything I can do to spice it up a bit? Something quick and painless. Have been researching and know a little bit about how it is made, and am working on making my own so that i wont have to deal with this crap. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

THX, C_G!!!

Hey, switrd was walking back to the house from throwing out the trash, there was a piece of paper with writing on it. It said, put your "dirty socks" atop a coffee filter, over a cup...then pour some (slightly chilled) dry acetone over of the top of them. This should clean them pretty well. If not, then repeat the process.

Def: dry acetone is acetone that has been poured through previously baked epsom salts. Which would then make it anhydrous....

def:

Main Entry: an·hy·drous

Pronunciation: -dr&s

Function: adjective

Date: 1819

: free from water and especially water of crystallization
