Further sticky claiper update

I couldnb't figure out which rear rotors was sticking becuase neither felt hot, well I got the rebuild kits this morning and on a whif felt all four wheels, turns out the front left is the culprit.
So, I didn't rebuild the rears since they're not the problem and I didn't rebuild the fronts becuz I didn't have the kit (both the rebuild kit and a rebuilt caliper were at least 3 days away from the local auto parts place)
So I decided, what the hell, and flushed the brake lines with my liter of super blue. (thinking it might be something in the line causing the problem.)
Turns out I was 1/2 right as the sticking is now decreased by at least 1/2. So now that the problem is much decreased I'm thinking about just replacing the brake lines (stainless steel of course) and rebuilding or replacing the caliper. I guess I'll either return the rear rebuild kits or just keep them for a future project.
Just thought I'd update ya'll on my progress.
The old brake fluid was gross and didn't seem anywhere near as liquid as the super blue.
