penetrating fluid

[brett84]

What do people find the best?
I've been using plus gas but tomorrow I'm going to test a mix that apparently works the best? It's power steering fluid and acetone? Seeing as though everything is seized up, hopefully it works well?

will be good to see the results as I always thought PlusGas the best......

I read that on a thread recently, Acetone evaporates pretty quick but perhaps it "does its job" before disappearing?

Diesel is a cheap and effective penetrant.

I use Comma...... But I also like red diesel from a spray dispenser...

I'm sure I've read somewhere that acetone is a great product for this. Be interesting to hear your results.

Personally, I can't complain about Plusgas. I'm half way or so through a body off and its performed faultlessly. No sheared bolts and nothing it couldn't handle (Yes, I can say that with confidence as all the rusty old nuts have now been removed, so no kiss of death for me ).

As you know Daz..... The deeper the penetration, the more satisfied you are

Good luck. Just got some Acetone from TESCO pharmacy today. 50ml for £1.45. Will mix 50:50 with pink ATF Dextron III and may try soaking over night on manifold exhaust bolts to see if they loosen easy before a re tighten. If it works it would be good for loosening rusty chassis body and seat belt bolts. Shake both together in container to get a good mix before painting on. Hope the US of A test is credible.
Given some spare time I may try on a row of new DEXION nuts an bolts tightened to the same torque setting in a vice. Leave to soak overnight then determine with a torque wrench the Newtons required to loosen. Will compare Acetone/ATF with WD40 and an untreated control.

Me too today I just went for the hammer and spanner technique so didn't test the mix yet.
