Most multipurpose oils on the market are formulated to tackle a broad range of tasks, including lubrication, cleaning, and corrosion protection. However, when dealing with stubborn bolts, nuts, taps, and valve fittings that won’t budge, a multipurpose oil may not cut it.
That’s where Q-Penetrating Oil (formerly known as Q10) is indeed the “right stuff”.
Engineered to tackle tasks that standard lubricants or all-purpose oils struggle with, Q-Penetrating Oil features a unique viscosity that allows it to penetrate deep into rusted threads and tight gaps, releasing and dissolving corrosion, scale, and grime.
HOW TO USE Q-PENETRATING OIL
Stubborn bolts and nuts exposed to the elements can be challenging to remove. Here are some tips to make the most of Q-Penetrating Oil:
1. Remove Surface Rust: Start by using a wire brush on the fastener to eliminate loose rust on the surface. This ensures the penetrating oil can reach the areas where rust is embedded in the threads and crevices.
2. Apply Q-Penetrating Oil Generously: Saturate the area by applying a generous amount of Q-Penetrating Oil. Its viscosity allows it to seep deeply into the spaces between threads, where rust and grime often cause the most trouble. After applying, give it around 10 to 15 minutes to work its way into the stubborn areas.
3. Use Gentle Tapping: Try tapping the bolt lightly with a brass or aluminium hammer for stubborn jobs. This action causes tiny cracks in the rust and scale, allowing the penetrating oil to further infiltrate. The tapping method also helps break up corrosion and makes it easier for the oil to dissolve grime.
4. Apply Additional Heat: Sometimes, a little heat applied to the nut or bolt can help by causing metal expansion. Be cautious when using heat around sensitive areas/components. After heating, add more Q-Penetrating Oil to dissolve rust and ease the bond.
