Default Re: What ratio of ATF & Acetone?

Always shake it up before using on the areas needing penetrant.
I always have a bottle around , ready to go.

Vic I believe you changed a word. Here’s Pete’s quote.

The ATF-acetone mix has been shown to outperform many commercial penetrating oils in tests, requiring significantly less

Out performs “Many “ not “Any “!
Personally I don’t think it’s very good or even close to Howes Penetrant and I have never seen a test comparing the two.
