Before products unblocking lubricants were put on the market in practical cans, a self-produced mixture was used for this function.

To make a cheap homemade unlocking lubricant, you'll need to get a couple of ingredients:

  • Lamp oil for oil lamps very penetrating and fluid by capillarity, it is absorbed by the porosity of the metal. Degreases.
  • Lubricating oil for cars, it lubricates and dissolves perfectly in petroleum.

Unlocking lubricating oil=9 Parts Lamp oil + 1 Part Lubricating oil

The oil used alone would tend to seize, because it degreases a lot, it is used because it gives the compound an excellent power to penetrate even inside threads. It slowly dissolves the rust.

The mixture will consist of 9 parts of kerosene and 1 part of oil, exceeding the amount of lubricating oil will not improve the effectiveness.

A moment of patience

Once applied with a brush on the piece to be unlocked, let it act for some time, at least 5 minutes , to allow it time to penetrate and unlock. If you try to unscrew immediately after application it will be of little use

Preventing oxidation
