I wonder if he ever got his exhaust apart?

Heh, and i thought this was my more recent thread, oh well, i hope it's still been useful posts.
Do you know if Ferrosol is safe on plastics, and polymers? Sounds like this stuff could be an incredible firearm lube. I have a glass-filled Nylon polymer frame pistol, with some kind of plastic grips, and I'd want to make sure Ferrosol won't attack, even slowly, these materials.You can now, finally after a million years, get this product in the USA, it blows anything else i've tried here out of the water.
Bilt Hamber Ferrosol 500ml | Multi Purpose Aerosol Lubricant
Bilt Hamber Ferrosol 500ml | Multi purpose aerosol lubricant by Bilt Hamber at The Clean Garage. Water displacing, anti-wear, and corrosion protection. Ideal for automotive, industrial, and metalworking applications.clean-garage.com
Good question, i just asked them and will update when i get an answer.
From another forum that looks to be your post there:
"Best to use a spray lithium grease really. Ferrosol will free it for sure, but it might start to eat at the plastic liner of the cable."
Also, from: https://clean-garage.com/bilt-hamber-ferrosol-500ml-multi-purpose-aerosol-lubricant/
"Isolate electrical equipment or components before treatment." -Why?
If this ends up not being safe on these materials, I wonder what the next best product that would be safe across the board? (i.e. something along the lines of LPS-1, but with better corrosion protection, longevity/durability, and lubricity, if there is such a thing).
Hmm, i hate it when i don't remember posting stuff, i even posted it this year, apparently!
And i did get word back, prolonged exposure will start breaking down plastics/elastomers, nothing with short exposure, but best not to use it on them.
Not sure on the electrical side, doesn't make too much sense to me as it's a water displacement product too.

OK, electrical side, it's purely for high voltage stuff, metal can, idiots.... No worries as to the actual product.
And use on firearms is a yes, just not on polymer stuff.

I just joined the forum. I've worked on air cooled VWs for 40 years and nothing rusts more than their parts. Exhaust nuts are the worst. Studs snap off in a heartbeat. Steel in aluminum. If one broke, the engine comes out. I came across LPS penetrant - back in the 80s and used it with better results than others at the time. I then found Kroil. When using either and letting them soak I never had a stud break when removing a nut. Actually 100% success.
Another problem was axle nuts. Same results. No struggling, came off with little effort.
Just my 3 cents.
I also like PB blaster.

Having restored a few Corvairs, most stuff that you have to take apart is solidly rusted, I had the best success with Seafoam DeepCreep and a lot of heat. Working on guns I've used Kroil with good results.

Kroil, CRC Knock’er Loose, CRC Freeze Off, PB Blaster and Seafoam Deep Creep are my favorites since my last post. They all work very nicely. The Kroil even sizzles the most when sprayed on.
I bought a can of Bilt Hamber Ferrosol for my gunsmith and he wants to know why no one has heard of it. He's thrown his Kroil in the trash and frankly the other stuff doesn't work so well either, he's a convert.
Acetone and ATF mixed 50/50 works great. The acetone will evaporate from an oiler. Keep it in the metal acetone can.
It's not bad.
You’ll find kroil, 3-1, liquid wrench & pb blaster in my tool box
That's no sizzle boy.. that's capillary penetration process lol

Lol well it sure was capillary penetration process today on the shock bolts of my dads truck. I thought a steak or bacon was cooking because of all the sizzle lolThat's no sizzle boy.. that's capillary penetration process lol
