[s-cars] OT: Was RE: Stiff front door hinges

[Tony Curran]

Was searching around for where to get Kroil in Canada and stumbled on
this...

"The April/May 2007 edition of Machinist's Workshop did a test of
penetrating oils where they measured the force required to loosen rusty test
devices. Buy the issue if you want to see how they did the test. The results
reported were interesting. The lower the number of pounds the better. Mighty
interesting results for simple acetone and tranny fluid!

Penetrating oil . Average load .. Price per fluid ounce
None ................. 516 pounds .
WD-40 .............. 238 pounds .. $0.25
PB Blaster ......... 214 pounds .. $0.35
Liquid Wrench ... 127 pounds .. $0.21
Kano Kroil ........ 106 pounds .. $0.75
ATF-Acetone mix.. 53 pounds .. $0.10

The ATF-Acetone mix was a 50/50 mix (1 to 1 ratio)."

Due to "enviromental" laws they only sell direct.
They are great to work with and ship fast, and if you 
call give the same pricing as on the website.
