"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.

Yup. Acetone and ATF has been my go-to for years. Way better then Kroil.

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 80 26 pages (still out there on the web).

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!

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...

Even though I find this slightly better than anecdotal, it is interesting

Penetrating oil test

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!
