[AT] Penetrating Oil Test

[charliehill]

Gene,  I believe I'd mix it up in the bottle/can the acetone came in.

Funny story,  we had a guy working for us years ago as a sandblaster.  The 
boy even had part of a college education but it didn't do him much good.  He 
took some MEK home with him to clean paint off his clothes or shoes or skin 
or something and for some strange reason decided to put his tooth brush in 
the jar of MEK over night.  He said he thought it would clean his tooth 
brush up real good (I don't remember ever keeping a dirty tooth brush around 
but whatever).  Anyway, luckily for him, he said the next morning when he 
went to brush his teeth all he had was a jar of, in his words, "pink water".
