PB Blaster.

Apparently this concoction is much better for rusty parts than say WD40. Any comments, and is it available anywhere in Thailand.

Thanks.

Tesco sell Sonax spray (German), it is good stuff...Orange tin...

While Sonax is okay, I think WD is clearly better

Thanks for the replies guys. I have both Sonax and WD40 in my workshop and am happy with the results of both but had heard that PBB was more powerful freeing seized bolts etc.

PB Blaster is a penetrating oil. In most tests a 50/50 blend of ATF and Acetone comes out tops.

 

You can make your own using nail varnish/polish remover from 7-Eleven and Automatic Transmission Fluid. 

 

The acetone is sucked into voids by capillary action and carries the ATF with it.

Nothing beat giving whatever you use plenty of time to work, and having the right size tool to start with.

“Liquid Wrench” used to be a great penetrating oil, but have not used it in years...

Maybe I should add that nothing really beats having a good quality rattle gun. Even with all the fancy alchemy.

Too many broken off studs and or rounded-off nuts....
