Yup. Careful how you handle acetone though.Rory Phoulorie wrote:ATF as in Automatic Transmission Fluid?

Wiki:- "Acetone is often the primary component in cleaning agents such as nail polish remover."
Just take basic precautions (gloves) and store the mixture in a well-ventillated area... along with your stash of NOS... Gasolene... etc. etc.

Article: Testing Penetrating oils.
The table below extracts the results table. The lower the number of pounds the better.
Interesting that a simple mix of acetone and power steering fluid (PSF) works the best!
Penetrating Oil... Average load... Price ($US) per fluid ounce
None ..................... 516 pounds
WD-40 ................... 238 pounds......... $0.25
PB Blaster .............. 214 pounds......... $0.35
Liquid Wrench ........ 127 pounds......... $0.21
Kano Kroil............... 106 pounds......... $0.75
PSF-Acetone mix........53 pounds......... $0.10 (50/50 mix)
Note from original article author:
1) These are loads required to free the test piece after 8 hours of immersion in penetrating oil.
This is probably not representative of a quick squirt just before a wrench is applied.
2) The original article states ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid)was used in the DIY mix.
It was actually PSF. (Power Steering Fluid.) I corrected the table to reflect this.
