I have a notebook along side of the computer that I use exclusively for making technical informational notes from SOC threads.
One of these notations has me totally baffled because I simply don't remember what it refers to: "50% ACETONE 50% BRAKE FLUID"
I know it's important because it's capitalized and underlined twice!!!
Does this recipe and application ring a memory bell for anyone?

Sounds like a pretty good paint stripper, but I have no idea. The Google has failed me.
Sounds about right Stan. REALLY good paint stripper!
Carl, you forgot the important part...DO NOT SWALLOW!
A good rust penetrant? I've also read that a 50/50 mix of acetone and automatic transmission fluid reduces the torque needed to remove a rusted nut (53 ft.lbs.) compared to Liquid Wrench (127 ft.lbs.), WD-40 (238 ft.lbs) and without any aid (516ft.lbs.)
BINGO, Al...Maybe if I message it into my scalp it will loosen up some rusted memory brain cells!!
And to think that just yesterday I paid $5.38 for 11oz of PB Blaster.
... but that's acetone and ATF (not brake fluid).

IIrc it also grows hair...
That may have been from me.
50/50 mix of acetone and automatic transmission fluid (any brand) makes the best penetrating oil I've ever used. I got the tip from a Marine who lived near me who worked on F-18 Hornet aircraft. He had also restored a Porsche 928(!)
Perfect use for used automatic tranny fluid.
I don't think the brake fluid would work at all......
