Maybe when the spray splashes back in your face? Could happen.

I have used a lot of Kroil working for the airlines. WD40 failed the salt spray cabinet test and was decertified as a Mil Spec item. No longer allowed to be used on military aircraft. What I found it good for is Cleaning tar off my hands and vehicles :thumbsup: (after driving on a freshly tarred and chipped road) and as a lube when using the lathe. I use PB Blaster and Kroil at home. Yeah, I did get a small supply.

ATF mix
I'm going to give it a try.
Never heard of it till now.
I have had good results with PB blaster and time.
heat and vibration along with PBB.
I always keep a gallon of Acetone in my solvent cabinet and have ATF on the oil shelf.
Easy enought to mix up a small batch when the need arises.
Thanks

Many people say that coca-cola is a great rust-remover. I have heard of people soaking seized chains in them for a week or so and it supposedly cleans them up... so maybe?

Coca-Cola has a small amount of Phosphoric Acid in it, and you are thinking maybe that can help remove rust?. Or perhaps the carbonation bubbles help with the penetration of the product into the threads?. For those of you that have heard about the Phosphoric Acid dissolving a nail immersed in it may want to follow this link for a simple experiment.

ED's Red and Kroil for me never had any reason to try any of the other's.

You can do a search for ED's Red if you don't know how to mix it, many uses.

In grade school we would de-solve cow teeth in coke, they are far from metal though.

I know its good for CAUSING rust, stickiness, gumming and other nuisance when spilled on metal....

That is funny because a friend of mine works for a certain helicopter manufacturer. They always used Tri Flow. (Their cans even had a label with a "expiration" date lol)

They were bought out / folded into another company and now all they allowed to use is WD-40, which he said was inferior.

where do you guys all buy this kroil? I have never even heard of it until this thread, and as I said before pb is the best I have used. Maybe I have seen it and never noticed it.

Our NAPA store started stocking it recently.
