Most of us have tried nearly everything by now: stinky old Liquid Wrench, WD-40, PB Blaster and Kroil oil. Turns out there may be something a whole lot better and possibly cheaper: Homebrew!

I used to use ATF & #2 diesel, works darned good. But tests by Machinist's Workshop Magazine were very revealing. The very best penetrant they tested was a home made 50/50 mix of ATF & Acetone!

Obviously HIGHLY FLAMMABLE and TOXIC VAPORS, use great care & plenty of ventilation.
