Re: [Chrysler300] Fwd: Penetrating Oils



Mark, go to the dollar store and pick up a old style plastic ketchup dispenser  "With the stopper" Shake before using each time. Mix 1/2 in a quart jar and transfer into ketchup bottle as needed and the other half just empty the acetone into the 1/2 full oil jug and label the jug. TA-TAH, 50%X50% and a Life Time Supply...BTW, John L. I like Gibbs too but their distribution system is terrible, at least on my side of the planet. HAPPY HO HO EVERYBODY , Jer

I'm into "home brew" stuff....So tell me, If I mix up a batch of acetone and ATF, what type of container can it safely be stored in? For example, can it be stored in an old spray bottle like a Windex pump bottle or must it be kept in something other than plastic, like a metal lacquer thinner can?

Just some interesting information to us that still mess around with a wrench and 
liers at times...John

enetrating Oils 

achinist's Workshop magazine recently published some information on various 
enetrating oils that I found very interesting. Some of you might appreciate 
his. The magazine reports they tested penetrates for break out torque on rusted 
uts. 

hey are below, as forwarded by an ex-student and professional machinist. They 
rranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrates with the control being 
he torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" 
nvironment. 

Penetrating oils ........... Average torque load to loosen* 

o Oil used ...................516 pounds 
D-40 ..................... ... 238 pounds 
B Blaster .................... 214 pounds 
iquid Wrench ...............127 pounds 
ano Kroil .................... 106 pounds 
TF*-Acetone mix............53 pounds 

he ATF-Acetone mix is a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic transmission fluid 
nd acetone. Note this "home brew" released bolts better than any commercial 
roduct in this one particular test. 

ur local machinist group mixed up a batch and we all now use it with equally 
ood results. Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is almost as good as "Kroil" for 
bout 20% of the price. 

teve from Godwin-Singer says that ATF-Acetone mix is best, but you can also use 
TF and lacquer thinner in a 50-50 mix. 
ATF=Automatic Transmission Fluid
