I used to have a homemade recipe for Kroil (I believe it used ATF), but can no longer find it. If anyone has it, would you please post it?
Thank you!

I doubt if you'll be able to get the proprietary recipe for Kroil. You may be thinking of the 50-50 mix of kerosene and automatic transmission fluid. It makes a good cutrting oil and the kero would give it some penetratring properties, but it in no way duplicates Kroil.
I agree, but there used to be a recipe that folks swore by. It seemed like it was a bit more than kerosene and atf. But I could be wrong...
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
This doesn't answer your question but have you tried "PB Blaster" - that is, if you are looking for a magical penetrating oil?

Tom,
I think that's it!
Thank you!

Buffalo,
I have used it and it does work great. I was actually asking about the Kroil for a friend who doesn't like 'puters....

Not compared to Kroil!
I assume you have used both?
Anyone ever used wintergreen oil from the drugstore? Good but not magic.

PB is good, Kroil is much better. PB smells bad. Wintergreen oil? Mix PB with it? You're ON to something!

I've never seen that recipe, but here's one for Ed's Red bore cleaner from the $7 SKS/Mosin Nagant CD I picked up at
-Equal measures of K1 kerosene, ATF, mineral spirits, and acetone.- Store in non-volatile containers. (It'll eat some plastics.) He says it doesn't have the lovely scent of Hoppe's #9, but it works great.
CAUTION: FLAMMABLE MIXTURE -- HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED
-- KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN Contents: petroleum distillates, surfactants, organometallic antioxidants and acetone.
1) Flammable mixture, keep away from heat, sparks or flame. 2) FIRST AID, If swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting, call physician immediately. In case of eye contact immediately flush thoroughly with water and call a physician. For skin contact wash thoroughly. 3) Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist. It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with itsonsistent with its labeling. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. If using in closed armory vaults lacking forced air ventilation wear respiratory protection meeting NIOSH TC23C or equivalent. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.Note: If you are planning on using this cleaner inside, in a poorly ventilated area, leave out the Acetone.

Larry,
No offense whatsoever BUT why do you feel it necessary to post all of the cautionary caveats?
Have we come to this because of lawyers or thinking others are dumb or.......?

2 reasons: copyright and lawyers. 1) because the cautionary text was in that file and 2) JIC someone's idiot stepchild makes some indoors with no ventilation and wants to sue me for wrongful death. I'm just sick to death of this litigous climate in the USA nowadays.

All I can find around here is synthetic "oil of Wintergreen". Have you ever tried "Breakfree"?
Never even heard of Breakfree. Is it very good?
I used to use S'Okay and it smelled of oranges so pretty sure it was citrus oil/acid. It worked great. I can't find it anymore.

BreakFree and Triflow..best gun oils ever made. Works pretty good on other stuff too.
