[Shop-talk] Mega Penetrant continued

[Arvid Jedlicka]

I have tried the CRC Freeze-Off and was very unimpressed. It was only one situation - exhaust manifold bolts - and I ended up using 
the entire can - but they broke anyway.

The usual penetrants are applied with just enough to get everything wet, then wait while the work. Freeze-Off suggests you spray for 
at least 10 to 15 seconds so the cooling effect has a chance to work. Guess it takes a while to cool down the bolt. Which means a 
lot of stuff seemed to go all over.

Otheres may have had better luck but I will not be getting another can unless I get formal training in how to properly use it ;-{
