ratcatcher Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 PB Blaster. Apparently this concoction is much better for rusty parts than say WD40. Any comments, and is it available anywhere in Thailand. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogandave Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 While Sonax is okay, I think WD is clearly better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 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.

VocalNeal Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Maybe I should add that nothing really beats having a good quality rattle gun. Even with all the fancy alchemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
