While I realize that WD-40 is for displacing moisture, how about Sea Foam Deep Creep? Anyone have any experience with this one? Is it as good as, worse than or just not in the same league with some of the other penetrating oils such as PB Blaster?
 
My favorite is KROIL for penetrating into places you wouldn't believe anything could go.

PB Blaster for rusty bolted connections

I haven't tried the Seafoam product yet...
 
I use Blaster on most everything, it's easy to find... KROil is scarce locally and I always forget it when I'm 'out-and-about'.
 
It hte parts can be heated, the best penentrant is a candle. Heat the joint as hot as you can get it, then touch the edge of a candle to the joint between the two parts. The melted wax will wick down between the two parts as it cools off. Most of the time, the bolt will bac out quite easily.
Cheers,
 
I like Sea Foam Deep Creep, it's good stuff, I say it is equal to PB Blaster and maybe a bit less messy.
 
Put a WD-40 straw in the nose of your PB can and it will be far less messy!
