The caution: Acetone evaporates quickly. You must keep your brew in
a sealed container, or you will end up with just atf over time.
Here is the original test
AG
Found this on a MGB list I'm on. Don't know how scientific it is but it
seems convincing.
Here's some interesting
comparisons on penetrating oils.
Machinist's Workshop magazine actually tested penetrates for break-out
torque on rusted nuts. They arranged a subjective test of all the popular
penetrates with the control being the torque required to remove the nut from
a
"scientifically rusted" environment.
*Penetrating Oil and Average Load*
Nothing..................... 516 pounds
WD-40....................... 238 pounds
PB Blaster................ 214 pounds
Liquid Wrench......... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil............... 106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix..... 53 pounds
The 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.
Take care -

The acetone will evaporate off pretty quickly, so don't make more than you
plan to use. Unless you have an airtight (probably metal or something the
acetone won't eat) container.
