Subject: [GMCnet] Loosening Rusted bolts Testing!
To: gmclist@temp.gmcnet.org
Here are the results of the test of the ATF/Acetone verses PS/Acetone.

or

Although neither material mixes into a homogeneous solution the ATF/
Acetone combination does not separate very rapidly as compared with
the PS/Acetone combination that separates almost immediately after
shaking.
I have not yet tried the AFT/Acetone mixture, but I have several
friends that use it and swear by it.
The pressurized sprayers are the best solution when using this mix as
Bob & Terry have suggested.

Harbor Freight also sells cans like that:
*ITEM 1102-DAA **http://tinyurl.com/yg5587q*
*ITEM 65297-DAA **http://tinyurl.com/ygb46m8
Seem to be only available in the stores (harborfreightusa.com) and not
On-Line.
You can draw your own conclusions!
