Can't say I've seen this hack, if it's called that. Anyone else?

Gary,
Granted I'm not near the sharpest tool in the shed, but I must be missing something in this snippet - appreciate you zeroing down the precise time.  How may I ask how do you even find these things, or look for them?

I've done my share of wrenching on cars but never heard of this little trick.  Could get messy with raison bread!

Gil, the youtube algorerhythum suggests videos they believe will tickle the taint of big spenders. I allow them to do so, gently. I've deduced that searching for vehicle renovation or classic cars steers them towards those types of videos.  The bread snippet started, strangely enough, while researchers noticed bonobo tribe members stripping leaves off twigs, licking them and inserting them into termite nests holes and betting on how many bugs would stick. Years later, true wrenchers determined bread worked better on tight seals.
