[urq] Liquid penetrant test - 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone beats Kroil etc.

[Mark R]

That's cool.  I wonder how it works on the rusty stuff?

I've had good luck with Kroil (my favorite) as well as PB Blaster.  As often
as I need it, the extra few bucks per year for the canned stuff doesn't
bother me, but it might be worth an experiment.  I might just set it up
myself.
