[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

When I was a kid, the chemical of choice for loosening rusted bolts was
.....Coca Cola!

FWIW....Cola contains phosphoric acid, so I wonder how one of the Cola
drinks would work on some projects?  The item being treated may clean up
with less effort since it wouldn't form a gel. Price wise, compared to
Naval Jelly,  you would get much more volume for the buck however, not
sure about the difference in acid concentration between the
two.JMTCWCarry-onBill-w7kxb
