Remember when PlusGas actually had gas in it? No longer though - at least it doesn't bubble like it once did.
I reckon there's very little between them these days. It's a simple formula that doesn't really change much. Except for the gas.

Sorry to disagree but the one to use these days is Forch Black Magic.

Not cheap but is amazing stuff and does bubble.

Do you think it is any good for a stuck stop valve/tap. or what ever.

Why does it do that it is an every day product in the plumbing trade.??????
