    one of the best retail chemicals to break a rust bond. Repeated applications and leaving over time lets it work better. The fumes are strong and the can does not spray well upside down in tight spaces. To spray upside down, spray right side up just beforehand.

    Not that good

    Was dissapointed with this product. Even after several applications and waiting periods, did very little to loosen up stuck screws/bolts.

      Comments about Blaster Penetrating Catalyst:

      I bought this stuff to help loosen the bolts on my shocks and boy did it help. I sprayed it on Friday night and it loosened em up good, I sprayed again saturday and the bolts came right off. It actually looked like it ate the rust off of the bolts. From now on i'll always have a can of this liquid amaziness in my tool box.

                  Magic potion for removing bolts

                    Comments about Blaster Penetrating Catalyst:

                    This stuff is literally a magic potion for removing stuck bolts. No more cursing and stripping bolts trying to remove them. Spray it, let it sit for a bit, and remove. It has removed things that I simply could not remove with WD-40.

                    I was amazed with how easily I was able to remove a turbo downpipe with this stuff. The bolts had been exposed to high temperatures and were very oxidized. They easily broke free after having soaked them with PB Blaster.

                    So far the only thing this has not magically removed for me were some brake rotors. The bolts came free, but the rotor would not break free from the wheel hub, and required other creative means to force it off. I guess there are limitations to this magic, but they are few.
