    "The following may be of interest to those doing restorations.

    Machinist's Workshop magazine tested penetrants for break out torque on
    rusted nuts.  They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants
    with the control being the torque required  to remove the nut from a
    "scientifically rusted" environment. The results  are as follows;

    Penetrating oil.......... Average  load

    None ........................ 516  pounds
    WD-40 ..................... 238  pounds
    PB Blaster ................ 214  pounds
    Liquid Wrench ......... 127  pounds
    Kano Kroil ................ 106  pounds
    ATF-Acetone mix.........53 pounds

    The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50-50 automatic transmission
    fluid and acetone."
