"Pimp Juice" is my go-to now for ferrous metals.
1/2 acetone 1/2 Dexron III Shake it up before use. The acetone separates during storage. Works so much better than anything else on ferrous fasteners. Dissimilar metals? I use wintergreen oil. You by this on Amazon as an "essential oil" The wintergreen oil was a tip from military techs servicing aircraft on carriers. Just imagine... Every single fastener has multiple dissimilar metals touching each other and it's being used in a "salt" poisoned atmosphere. |

Every single fastener has multiple dissimilar metals touching each other and it's being used in a "salt" poisoned atmosphere. Can’t imagine the military using anything other than $1000/can Mil-spec stuff. Hell; I used to have the recipe for MRE brownies - it was something like a mind numbing Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve never tried wintergreen oil. But, I will give it a try! I’m also not saying some yahoo isn’t putting wintergreen oil purchased off Amazon from the Chinese, putting it in a can, and slapping a MIL-Spec label on it and then selling it to military procurement (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

This needs a shootout style competition. I just read about Free All being good, from amazon. I have usually been less than impressed with blaster, which is available everywhere, and wd40 never did much for me either.

makes your shop smell like Christmas!
I found an "off prescription" use of the wintergreen oil this last winter. I ended up with a "puss" catapillar infestation on the bush by my shops front door. I always called these things "asps" as they can still the crap out of you. These critters have poison "hairs" like a jellyfish. I've never seen more than one before and my bush had hundreds! They ate more than 1/3 of the foliage in a very short time. These things are hard to kill and eradicate. They make a special "BT" poison that works great but took 8 days to get here. The internet said "essential oils like peppermint can be a pesticide." I didn't have peppermint but the wintergreen oil made them MELT in about 20 seconds... It's MAGICAL on killing caterpillars... A single drop is all you need! |

Have you used kroil? Hard to believe anything is better than kroil I used Kroil for a long time, but switched to Sea Foam Deep Creep after my dad showed it to me. It really does foam up a bit and clings to surfaces better than Kroil. Which is helpful if you have something other than a horizontal surface. I'm sure everyone has a favorite, and there is probably a 10 page argument on Garage Journal somewhere. I don't have a dog in the hunt. Just sharing. |

I use a shit ton of WD40.
I call it my dis-assembly fluid. All plastic pop clips and any electrical connection will come apart much easier and be re-usable. It is the proper lubricant for the internal seals in a weather pack style fitting. WD40 doesn't damage stuff like the pimp juice will. I don't use it for assembly, but it is integral to my work. I don't use it at all for jammed fasteners in metals... |

Amazon. I NEVER read the positive reviews. The straight poop is in the ones that usually describe the numerous flaws and shoddy quality.
How much lacquer thinner do you buy at a time? A gallon? AeroKroil is a great product. Convenient spray can. No mix, no mess, no nitrile gloves. Like most penetrants it can take time and multiple applications. Water Displacement formula #40. |

A worthwhile video and well-done experiment. Not exhaustive, for sure, but good technique. Thanks! |
