I've had those same thoughts. I used a Dexron/Mercon because it is what I had on hand. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone uses a different version with acetone and gets it to mix. |

Beyond the reprinting of the original "data" in Farm Show magazine, no. Not being a machinist, I'm not familiar with Machinist's Workshop.
I did find reference to what I think is the original source http://www.homeshopmachinist.net/articleindex:
Testing Different Types of Penetrating Oils
Bender, Lloyd
Subject: Cutting Fluids
Issue: Vol. 20 No. 2 Apr-May 2007 Perhaps someone out there has the original or perhaps it available in a library somewhere.

I used acetone from the paint section in the hardware store, metal can, childproof cap. Haven't had my fingernails done in a while. Glad to hear yours mixed. What ATF and what acetone did you use? |

| One of the parts of the paint reducer might very well be an emulsifier. Please report back how the mix works on corroded fasteners. I might well give it another shot if I have a reasonable assurance of success. |
