I'm uncertain what replaces it - switch cleaner? - since blasting grit
out of a timer that has sat behind an engine burning 20:80 oil:methanol
needs WD-40's penetrating oil properties but without the dried-on, sticky
water-repelling coat it leaves behind.
Try Kroil. That is often hard to come by. Maybe PB Blaster will work.
Even some home brew mix of Ed's Red.
Just my 2 cents, but I think PB Blaster is an excellent product for
loosening bolts and other automotive uses. Much better than WD40. I have
never used Kroil. Mostly cuz I never see it sold anywhere in auto parts
stores. But I heard it's good......
What is "Ed's Red"?
Watching a video or two, Liquid Wrench came out on top for nuts and bolts.
