DO NOT MIX SP3 WITH ANY OTHER PENETRANT, IT WILL ONLY SLOW DOWN THE PROCESS!!

A CUSTOMER WROTE US ASKING ABOUT COMPARING PENETRATING OILS. THIS IS THE EMAIL WE SENT BACK TO HIM: Tim We appreciate your interest.There are some exotic(expensive) strain & torque gauges available.The simple method for creating an "equal"test group of fasteners is to......obtain a quantity of UNCOATED bolts & nuts,soak an equal number in a salt bath for different exposure times and solution strengths.The nuts should be on the bolts! This can also be done with a corrosive bath, BE CAREFUL!! The torque method you are contemplating will work,but a really simple test is to...
Pour a measured quantity of each product into a saucer or petri dish etc.then stand the bolt/nut up in each solution.The first to migrate up THROUGH the threads is going to be the best in most cases.
Simple right?
As for SP3 on dissimilar metals,we sell to a number of aircraft and marine museums and restoration specialists that love the results.

All this being said, no product is a silver bullet or magic wand. There are still problems that only a torch,or machine shop will cure. We hope this helped. We worked closely with an industrial chemist for over a year to come up with the SP3 product. We could have made a more aggressive formula, but you couldn't buy it/use it without special training and protective gear. Our goal was to provide a product that was safe & effective for the real world.
One other plus is IT DOESN'T STINK or leave a nasty smell on your hands. The fumes will not run you out of the shop in the winter! Give it a try. If you have any further questions, give us a call or send in an email.
