New potion

[In Memory of Vicroy]

I got a flyer from an outfit in TN selling some penetrating oil called Aero Kroil. They had a 2 for one deal so for about 11 bucks just got two cans. Flyer claims it is the best penetrating stuff ever made, will creep into a gap only a millionth of an inch. Also claims if it won't get a corroded or galled bolt loose they will give you your money back.

Figured I'd give it a head to head with CX.

Any of the Faithful ever use it?

vic
we use it at work, good stuff

UV,
Do we still have some issue with delivery of CX aerisols? Sure could use same.

[In Memory of Vicroy]

Mikey, yes we do....it was supposed to be solved but I just had a shipment bounce back. Got someone working on it, but may have to take a different tack.

As the "Prince of Potions", I am familiar with and have used Aero Kroil.

It is another of those avaition products that has been around for awhile.

IMHO, it is not as good as red CX. I have gotten stuff apart with CX that

Aero Kroil wouldn't get.

A product called "Mouse Milk" is another excellent one used in the aviation industry.

I have used it since the 70's. Still got a gallon container from then.

Not as good as CX red as the Judge already said.

When I worked for Shell in the 70's, somehow a can of this stuff found it's way from work to my home. One night while gar fishing in the bayou behind the house, I ran out of OFF, and the skeeters were eating me alive. Out of desperation, I sprayed the Aero Kroil on my arms. I may have been drinking, that was a long time ago. It worked real well. Didn't keep the bugs away, but made my skin so slippery they couldn't stay on long enough to bite without sliding off.

I told my bosses at Shell about this discovery, they felt that the possiblity of cancer and brain damage from inhaling the fumes outweighed the potential as a bug "repellant". Hadn't thought of this product in years, until Vic brought it up.

Mike-Larry the cable guy couldn't have come up with a funnier story! Thank you for making my evening. Dont think I'll ever use a bug spray again without thinking of you! Walter

Does CX work as a bug repellent? Uncle Vic will have to run some tests.

I, too, have been using Kroil for over 20 years. It works well in most applications, but I believe Corrosion-X has a slight edge, particularly in the speed with which it frees up the problem parts.

Is "Aero Kroil" the same a plain ole "Kroil"? Its been around a long time.

I just got some of this stuff to try: http://strongarmsprays.com/

I will report on how it performs after I find a suitably difficult task for it. It may be crap for all I know, but I like to experiment.
