Thanks, but they're actually 1 of our customers, so I'd be silly to pay them for stuff... Lol

It sounds like you are in the right place!
I have just noticed I said brake fluid in my first post.
It works the same but, ATF is kinder to any paint, thinking of it I have 5 litres of dexron in the shed so I must get some acetone and mix a new supply.
Here is the results of a comparative test that I found:
**Machinist's Workshop magazine tested penetrants for break out torque on**
**rusted nuts with significant results!**
**They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants with the**
**control being the torque required to remove the nut from a**
**"scientifically rusted" environment.**
***Penetrating oil ...... Average load***
**None ....................... 516 pounds**
**WD-40 ................... 238 pounds**
**PB Blaster .............. 214 pounds**
**Liquid Wrench ..... 127 pounds**
**Kano Kroil ............. 106 pounds**
**ATF-Acetone mix....53 pounds**
**The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic**
**transmission fluid and acetone. Note the "home brew" was better than any**
**commercial product in this one particular test. Our local machinist**
**group mixed up a batch and we all now use it with equally good results. **
**Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is about as good as "Kroil" for about 20%**
**of the price.**
**Happy knuckle busting !*
Food for thought!
A decent two part adhesive, and epoxy resin very interesting.
