In my experience [liquid] doesn't work as well as
WD-40 in pressurized cans.
Does the pressurizing agent let the WD-40 more easily
penetrate corrosion?
It could, I guess. The carrier is a light, volatile that I
suppose could wick into tight spaces.
Yeah, in that case the sand might not be the best thing to tumble
it in. ;-)

I acquired a monster chain-type come-a-long and am
currently soaking the chain in a (covered) bucket of ATF
and acetone. We'll see... It took most of a gallon of
used ATF to cover the chain. I put a bit less than 2
cups of acetone. Maybe not enough - but I'm cheap!
I have one of those units and it works fairly well. It is a bit sticky
on the reversing lever and requires a little finesse. Probably needs to
be cleaned and lubed too. Don't use it much but it is there when we need it.
I think the last use was to remove a small block Chevy engien from a boat.

If you can get the chain out of the come-along the best way to
clean it of rust is to put it into a small electric cement mixer
along with a couple of shovels of sand. Worked for me a couple of
times now. Soaking it in oil doesn't really get any rust off.

I was talking to some of my jukebox restoration buddies about penetrating oils,

the proper ratio of ATF to acetone that was suggested - can someone refresh my
memory?

The acetone will evaporate off pretty quickly, so don't make more than you plan
to use. Unless you have an airtight (probably metal or something the acetone
won't eat) container.

Do you have any more info on this? It's REALLY interesting, but I'm
surprised PB Blaster doesn't do much more than WD-40- so I want to know
what their methods are. I love that the cheapest thing on the list
actually works the best by far!
My experience is that PB Blaster works really well,
Since this was supposedly a scientifically rusted environment test, it would
be nice to know what the standard deviation is/was in this testing as I'm
having a hard time believing that something as useless as Liquid Wrench
performed as well as it did.
