I never cease to be amazed by the information I get from this list. This group has an amazing array or talents and experiences, not just in sailing but also in engineering, metallurgy, mechanics, chemistry etc. etc. The only engineering I can provide advice on is genetic engineering and I suspect there are not going to be a lot of questions on that topic. Sigh! I will be sure to report back on tools and bolts when I find what gets this one off. I may buy a few wrenches just to see how well each works in this not uncommon situation. My box of ratcheting wrenches dumped over a while back and of course ended up in the bilge in salt water. No more ratcheting happening there. As to my real point- I had heard about 50-50 acetone ATF a long time ago as a penetrant so I made some up to try for this experiment, but found that the two are not miscible and phase separate almost immediately. Is that expected and if so, which phase for the bolt? Dave >
