Re: [Chevelle-List] penetrating oils from Kano

Rich.. I have never ceased to amaze me, the number of things I use KROIL on.... To get around the $$$ issue. I buy it by the Gallon and use little 4 OZ. hand oilier).... and in my travel tool box have a refillable injector type cartridge...   Wayne ACES 1556 TC 186 ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard M.

Used to be, it was only available in Industrial stores but I noticed a case at the local Auto Parts store last month. I read somewhere that it penetrates down to a millionth of an inch.   The only problem I have with it is keeping it hidden from the wife. At about $6.50 a can for the aerosol, that's pretty expensive "WD-40" for squeaky door hinges and stuck drawers!   Rich -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Steve Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 12:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] penetrating oils from Kano I noticed a few people asking what the favorite penetrating solutions are out there for removing frozen parts, and I wanted to tell everyone about my all- time best product.   I have worked in industrial maintenance for over 25 years and in the early 1980s was introduced to the Kano line of chemicals ( www.Kanolabs.com/ ).  Up to that point, I was forced to use whatever penetrating oil the company stockroom girl bought that month.  But a salesman left us a sample of their KROIL  and I have been forever sold on several of their products.  I started buying their stuff in gallons or 5 gallon containers for use in my garage.   The best oil for loosening any corroded/stuck part is KROIL.  It is promoted as being able to reach into the smallest openings to start helping get the part out.  I found it was very helpful to add some heat, if possible, to speed things along.  But on a restoration job, I might just keep reapplying over a few days to keep the heat off the part.   Other stuff I have used from KANO of liked include:   Kreen engine cleaner Glit Glass Cleaner SiliKroil (Kroil w/silicone)-don't use this stuff if painting is in the future! Micriol precision oil Exrust   Most items can be ordered in small spray cans but I tend to buy the engine cleaner and  penetrating oils in gallon or 5 gallon containers to save a few dollars! Their website has more details and has a great Maintenance Ideas section.   Hope this is of some help, maybe save a knuckle or two!   Steve E. ACES #5494 68 Chevelle SS
