I got this via another car guy forum.
For All of you Mechanic's and Self doer’s out there. Penetrating Oil - interesting This was in one of the Military Vehicle Club newsletters Here is an interesting article submitted by Bob Muller for our members consideration Penetrating Oils Recently “Machinist Workshop Magazine” did a test on penetrating oils. Using nuts and bolts that they ‘scientifically rusted’ to a uniform degree by soaking in salt water, they then tested the break-out torque required to loosen the nuts. They treated the nuts with a variety of penetrants and measured the torque required to loosen them. This is what they came up with: Nothing: 516 lbs WD-40: 238 lbs; PB Blaster: 214 lbs; Liquid Wrench: 127 lbs, Kano Kroil: 106 lbs (ATF)/Acetone mix (50/50): 50 lbs. This last “shop brew” of 50% automatic transmission fluid and 50% acetone appears to beat out the commercially prepared products costing far more. |

Hmmm... neither acetone nor ATF are particularly hazardous. I can't see any reason why that mixture couldn't be sold. There are tons of companies that can blend it and package it, and even generate an MSDS.
I'm smelling some entrepreneurial opportunity here. |

Is it a mixture that would remain stable for long enough periods to be packaged and sold, out would it go bad somehow? |
