i got some from a friend wow works AWESOME !! next best thing I've used is mineral sprits mixed with trans fluid 50/50 mix
Been using it for years
The mechanics on the F-22s use it all of the time.
It is BIG in the aerospace world.
been posted around the sites: use acetone instead of mineral oil
Penetrating Oils Comparison study done by Machinist's Workshop magazine in their April 2007 issue looked at different penetrating oils to see which one did the best job of removing a rusted bolt by measuring the pounds of torque required to loosen the bolt once treated. If the study was scientifically accurate, it turns out a home brew works best! Go to the article itself for full details on test. Here's the summary of the test results:
None ..................... 516 pounds
WD-40 .................... 238 pounds
PB Blaster ............... 214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ............ 127 pounds
Kano Kroil ............... 106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix.............53 pounds
The Automatic Transmission fluid (ATF)-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic transmission fluid and acetone. Note the "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this one particular test. Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is about as good as "Kroil" for about 20% of the price.
Figure a peer review magazine with nothing to gain from advertisers saying the home brew better than their product . . . Not sure on the science part of the test as they don't mention in the article how many of the controls they tested to verify consistency, but I have it mixed up in my oilier can and is my goto product as well as my torch.I read that same info. I tried the ATF + acetone . It does work to some degree, but maybe a little better than WD40. Sure wasn't near what PB blaster or Liquid Wrench will do. I don't see the point from mis-information from the "experts"...............................MO
Very good stuff. Use the spray can all the time when neededCan't say enough good things about kroil. I like to pre-soak any threaded areas that need loosening. The difference between kroil and other products is noticible. Kano makes many different products, all of them work well. I like the kroil with silicone. Here is some of my stash:
