[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3158970, member: 40864"] You can do a decent creep test with a few rusty bolts of the same size. Spray or pour a small amount of penetrating oil (1/8" deep or so) in a small container (bottle-cap, jar-lid, or whatever) and stick the threaded end of a rusty bolt in it (hold it there for a bit). Its rate and height of creep up the bolt is a pretty good indicator of penetrating ability for comparison with other oils. A salesman came by a trucking company shop were I worked as a teenager, and was showing how well his penetrating oil worked with the creep test. My oldest brother was foreman, and he had the guy do the same test with Liquid Wrench. Both performed about the same. And the Liquid Wrench was cheaper. :D [/QUOTE]
