Deep creep sea foam
« on: December 08, 2016, 10:46:35 AM »

You all may have read where I was having sticking creosote problems with my draft door. I had heard about a sea foam called" deep creep ". Man that stuff could remove brass from brass knuckles😀
It's a little pricy but well worth it. Definitely an enemy to creosote buildup. Maybe this will help solve someone else's problem with a sticking flap. Sure helped mine

In the spring when I shutdown my OWB for the summer, CB recommends that all weld joints be scraped of creosote buildup to prevent premature corrosion.  It's always been a pain in the back side to get that stuff scraped off; it doesn't come that easy.  I wonder if this stuff would loosen it enough to make the job a bit easier?  Your thoughts?  Roger

Like the old engine gunk, if you spray it on and let it sit for a while it will eat away that buildup and then a wire brush or whatever you normally use will remove it a lot easier. It emmediately made a difference in my draft door. Cold temps don't seem to bother it either.

Thanks Bluegrass Wood Burner.  I'll see what happens in the spring when I try it.  Roger

To be perfectly honest, I’ve been at the farm for over 40 years, do any of them stand above the rest, not really. WD40 for displacing moisture or an extremely light lubricant. Deep Creep, PBlaster, Croil, Marvel Mystery Oil, Free All, Liquid Wrench, LubeGard, Lubriplate, Lucas, 3 in 1, etc etc etc are all about the same, some have better lubrication properties than others and some have better penetrating properties than others. Is one a magic bullet? Nope.

Only three products have ever stood above the rest far as we are concerned and the first two are combined. Acetone and ATF combined at 50/50 is the best rust buster we’ve ever found and its far cheaper than the aerosol cans. Far as an anti corrosion or anti seize compound Fluid Film beats the rest hands down. Was specifically formulated for the Navy to combat salt corrosion decades ago, I don’t even buy Never Seize anymore.

Far as cutting the creosote kerosene or diesel will probably work just as well. Anything that can cut heavy petroleum like tar will work equally as well on creosote. Local welding shop quit wasting their time decades ago painting drainage pumps, instead they coat em with roofing tar inside and out cut 25% with gas. Usually do it on a Friday so they can weld safely again by Monday.

I've been using ATF for years cut with a bit of fuel oil, I bet the acetone works wonders, never thought of it but I'll be trying it next, Thanks Marty!

Has anyone used motor oil instead of ATF or Kerosene as corrosion prevention?

I've used acetone and transmission fluid before in a 50/50 mix.  It works very well at freeing stuck nuts.  The acetone really carries the tranny fluid into the threads.
