The ATF-Acetone mix is a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic
transmission fluid and acetone. Note this "home brew" released bolts
better than any commercial product in this one particular test.

In my case, I really don't remember how long I let them 'soak'. However, I doubt that I waited that long. After all, the Acetone will evaporate fairly quickly. I won't speculate on why it works, but it does work.

Thanks for the tip, Charlie. Most of us will have ATF fluid around (even used should work), but I wonder if fingernail polish remover could sub for acetone?

Sure, it'll be a _lovely_ flowery smelling bolt loosener!
Actually, though traditional nail polish remover used to be acetone, I don't think the stuff sold nowadays is always acetone any more.

Just speculating, methinks the acetone works as a very thin solvent that facilitates the lubricant working it's way into the rusted joint. So for the Kolb list: MEK? Wouldn't it work like acetone? All us Kolbers probably still have some, and now that the airplane is built, this might be a use for it.
Worth a try - but don't get it on the paint.
