Marv and PJs,

The ATF-Acetone 50:50 mixture works the best for me. Finding an air-tight container is the real trick. I stopped using the Liquid Wrench after they changed to stinky formula to makes it smell better. I thought the old formula of LW had a unique smell that at least gave me impression it was doing something special to loosen the bolt. Also,there is an extensive discussion on HMT about the ATF-Acetone mixture at http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/h...rating-oil-159 for morer information.

Thanks for finding that thread Paul. Hadn't thought about the anti-stink additive to the LW, but you may be right about it's new anti-effectiveness. I also noticed their Silicone spray has a similar smell, but my go to for that is Tri-Flow, but pricey. I ran across and old small can of LW the other day in my shed. Since this popped up, think I'll compare the ingredients if its on there for grins. Also think the idea of kerosene might be a worth while test. I use it for cleaning cast iron parts and notice the rust dissolves a bit and comes off pretty well with a wire brush.

I noticed in the old thread that C-Bag had mentioned Sure Shot containers (really good idea) and others had mentioned converted spray cans with a Schrader valves added. I've built a couple over the years and find they don't hold a charge very long, but I may give that a try on the ATF-Solution. Amazon has a pretty broad range of Sure Shot look-a-likes at reasonable prices. My only concern with them is cleaning them out for other uses.

Thanks for chiming in on this! ~PJ
