PB Blaster or WD40?
While I'm waiting for a screw to unfreeze after liberally applying WD40, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the best screw/bolt unfreezer due to rust. PB Blaster? WD40? Are there any others out there that work? I don't know if anyone has ever asked this question before - at least I haven't seen it.

Re: PB Blaster or WD40?
PB Blaster...it is a penetrating oil that works well on rusty old bolts, etc. WD-40 is a "water dispersant" (WD) product and not a penetrating oil. It absorbs water very well but will not pentrate rust like PB.

Re: PB Blaster or WD40?
Kroil is well known in the firearm industry and is great stuff. But between your choices PB it is.
I hate WD |

Re: PB Blaster or WD40?
We use PB Blaster in our shop, and it works great, but It's no miracle. Still, great stuff though. In the VDOT shop I use to work in the guys there swore on this stuff called "FREE". Supposedly better then PB Blaster, but it cost a few dollars more.
I've almost always been able to remove some old rusty stuff with some PB Blaster and a good torch. Only on a few occasions did that combo not work. |

Re: PB Blaster or WD40?
my uncle is a gunsmith by trade. He specializes on weapons made before WWi, and has stuff from the 1400's.
I tossed him a can of PB Blaster a mounth ago after seeing him spraying WD-goat p!ss, and he was amazed. He said it is right up there with the Kroil that he only uses when he has to. |

Re: PB Blaster or WD40?
Two different animals.PB Blaster is great for freeing up frozen bolts,not so great as a lube.WD40 is for lube.Lube is good on stuck bolts and will always be a help.even if not enough help.
I use PB Blaster to free things up,then I lube it with WD40 or CRC.

TRI-FLOW for the win!!!  It is excellent stuff. Pick some up next time you are at the industrial supply store (usually the only places that have it locally). It's what I use to clean my guns, and also to wipe them down - stock and all. Works great. (Edit: Yes, I do still use bore solvent). DLB Last edited by Orange; 07-27-2007 at 09:03 AM. |

Re: PB Blaster or WD40?
The products that get my vote........
PB Blaster for a penetrant. Triflow for a pivot, cable, chain lube. Hey Orange, many bicycle shops carry Triflow as a lube for bike chains. Also comes in drip or spray.

I can't find the thread right now but a while back someone mentioned a product that was sold by the Chevy dealers that he said was better than any of the ones mentioned. It was considerably more expensive though. LockDoc
