I happen to like the smell of Kroil and usually keep a pint handy. I was shouldn't be surprised at the effectiveness of ATF/acetone, because if you add kerosene you get "Eds Red" cleaner.
Yes, Kroil a long time favorite, and I dig the smell and it's a Nashville product. Kano Labs yo. (and now I have proof for those who think WD40 is good for much besides water displacement (a good thing when that's what you're after).
Kroil is wonderful stuff. I always buy the "dropper" cans, never aerosol cans. The propellant gas leaks out too fast, leaving product that cannot be used.
Well, you can use it---just have to poke a hole in the can. My current Kroil is such - flat, but perforated.
Machinists turned me onto
Gibb's a few years back and I like to have a can of it around too and not a bad smell, but it's not so easy to find.
Thanks for the reminder about acetone, I've bare-handed a more than I should have, but got wiser. And the ladies use that acetone (scented) on their nails, could be another health risk that folks mostly ignore.
And I shall mix up a batch of this stuff (
Dexitone I might call it
) or at least keep the recipe in mind for next time I need it. Thanks for sharing.
PB Blaster--I'd rather not ever smell again, at all. no how. no way. Pretty sure it'll happen, but I'm not looking forward to it.
