Have to buy some penetrating/releasing fluid. :(

Plus gas used to be good,anyone got any recommendations? I want to get cash advanse, found good website with it.
Not keen on aerosols due to wastage,even better would be any`home made`recipes,if there are such things.

Kroil and WD 40can be bought in gallon jugs. Not sure about PB Blaster.

A 50 / 50 mixture of acetone and automatic transmission fluid works better than most commercial products.

Which kind of Automatic Transmission Fluid? Type F for Ford, General Motors, Dollar General, or what?

I highly recommend Kroil, while WD-40 is good Kroil is way better.

On a wooden Flanger we are restoring Kroil loosened a whole bunch of 50+ year-old rusted nuts and bolts that nothing else could get.

ANY type, whatever is cheap. There isn't a lot of difference between them. In fact, hydraulic oil probably will work the same, as there isn't much difference between ATF, hydraulic transmission fluid, and straight hydraulic oil, beyond the additive packages added to the base stock.

BTW, type F is barely for Ford anymore. They abandoned that 35 years ago for the Mercon fluid which is sold as Dexron/Mercon fluid.
