Has anyone heard, can anyone verify? Maybe Wolf Man? Did Skeets really get arrested for driving his tractor into Walmart and using the bucket as a shopping cart? Was it really 20 cases of canned goods crashing that got him caught?

I think it was when he knocked over the Superbowl beer display.

I tried the ATF-Acetone mix, and it wouldn't stay mixed. Stored it in a translucent plastic squeeze bottle labelled for Acetone use.
That is EXACTLY the problem with the ATF/Acetone home brew!
Kroil does not separate!

A blonde driving a car became lost in a snowstorm. She didn't panic however, because she remembered what her dad had once told her. "If you ever get stuck in a snowstorm, just wait for a snow plow to come by and follow it." Sure enough, pretty soon a snow plow came by, and she started to follow it. She followed the plow for about forty-five minutes. Finally the driver of the truck got out and asked her what she was doing. And she explained that her dad had told her if she ever got stuck in a snow storm, to follow a plow. The driver nodded and said, "Well, I'm done with the Wal-Mart parking lot, do you want to follow me over to Best Buy now?"

Mine separated too. It's in a sealed old-fashioned oil can (long skinny spout, squirt by pushing bottom) . When I used it a vigorous shake before applying worked. I used it successfully on the 4 bolts on the Ford 1210 muffler flange.

Had varying luck with a number of different penetrants. An odd one that has worked on some things was WARMING, not real hot, the piece and melting wax so it wicks into the corrosion.

It's not about separation, it's what it was stored in! Has to be in a glass container, sealed tight. I mix it and put it in a baby food jar and use a syringe to get it where I want it.

Kroil is very expensive!!
Does not separate.
Does not need to be stored in a glass container.
Does not need to be sealed tight.
Comes in a very handy spray can,.... with nozzle.

I am well aware of Kroil and it's properties. I have a few ounces remaining in a gallon can I bought a while back. I bought a lot of it when separating final drives and clutches on a D2.

It is expensive and that is the benefit of the ATF/acetone mixture.
