Re: How can they stop you? Re WD40
It isn't. It's a light machine oil dissolved up in the leftpondian equivalent of white spirit. (Somewhere between white spirit and turps substitute IIRR. Plus, if my nose is correct something to give it a sweet pong.
I've not tried the auto transmission fluid homebrew. None readily available as we tend to have pudding stirrers here in Blighty. My guess is that the acetone penetrates very well and takes some of the auto fluid down with it. That has EP properties, no? Maybe a little auto fluid does dissolve in the acetone. That would suggest that using far less that the normal grease monkey recipe of 50 / 50 might be better??
I've long intended to do some experiments when I get some time.
Anyone know which type of auto fluid is "best"?
In the meantime LACO do a very good penetrating release agent - Laco Rustbuster. I particularly like the pull out dispensing tube - much more effective than smothering everything with an aerosol spray in the hope that some will hit the spot.
