Sorry I was incorrect. The freezing product they tested was not Loctite but CRC
Freeze-off although I suspect it;s almost the same as the Loctite. Same
principle at least. The worst was WD-40, slighlty better was Liquid Wrench, PB
Blaster was the best by far. The CRC was about equal to the PB. You spray for
10 sec to drop the temperature 70 degrees or so opening cracks and micorscopic
fissures in the rust allowing the penetrants in the product to better get into
the threads. They did caution using where it would contact rubber parts.
Remember this was a trial to see which worked best on glass boats.

So what did the article conclude was the best penetrating solvent/method?

The magazine Practical Sailor had a thorough review of the usual penetrating
solvents and included this product in the tests. It article was just a
couple of issues ago.

Waiting for one of our Canadian brethren to comment that "we've been
freezing our nuts off forever."
