Interesting!
Did some searching around, and found these supposedly as the results of the
April 2007 Machinist's Workshop magazine comparison test.
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
Do a google on "Ed's red bore cleaner", you'll find you've got half the
ingredients of a very popular home brewed gun cleaner.
