Put it in a common spray bottle. ATF/Acetone is my go-to penetrate This is the 2nd time I've seen this mix mentioned; believe it's time to mix some up and SPRAY.

Reply #17 - 02/11/17 at 04:21:01 Be a little careful about what you mix and store it in......Acetone is a strong solvent and will dissolve most plastic containers. And Acetone evaporates quickly, so if you decide to store it in your metal oil can and it is vented.....the Acetone will evaporate and won't stay in the mix very long.

It does penetrate, and if lube is there (like a door hinge with dried up grease) it will penetrate and then get the already-there grease to re-lube! Was not allowed even in the building when I worked at Rubbermaid, because it would wash away any lube the machines had on their ways.

Correct, since it's mostly Naphtha, WD40 is a solvent. I believe it does, have some 5w oil, but its not a good lube. I do use it to clean a roller chain before lubing and I do use it directly on O and X ring chains. It's also great for removing stickers.

I have, over the years, relied heavily on anti-seize compound on problematic nut locations - thus preventing the issue you had beforehand. Anti-seize is a MUST when using steel screws going into aluminum, or on stainless screws into stainless - really prevents gaulding.
