Hehehe. Same thing with rigger boots and a chunk of slag from oxy cutting torch.

Really quick way to learn to dance.

Is this plusgas stuff better than any other penetrating fluid? If so is there any difference (in effectiveness) between the aerosol version or other?

I used to really like the duck oil (iirc) that came in a non aerosol can, but they all seem a bit sh*t these days TBH.

Apparently mixing ATF with acetone can give the similar results to the old school stuff before all this "health" stuff was invented.

Is that a yes? My only experience with such stuff is with 3 in 1 penetrating aerosol.

3 in 1 aerosol is fine, 3 in 1 in a can is also good stuff.
If in doubt use both, can't hurt.

It's kinda hard to say what's "best" though, 'cos if it works, who is to say that it was an ACE penetrating oil, or that the bolt wasn't tight...

So buy one you like the smell of

Fair enough. It does smell really nice.

So it sounds like I shouldn't of bothered with that half a tin WD40 I used to try and the blighter apart

[yorkie_chris]

WD40 = water dispersant.

Better than nowt but it isn't penetrating oil
