[GreenKeys] Cleaning agents...

[Richard Knoppow]

    The site describing Ed's Red has a note about ATF. Evidently 
it has a synthetic sperm oil in it.
    Now, my memory is playing tag with me but Marvel Mystery Oil 
has a reducing agent in it, something used as a photographic 
developer. A reducing agent reduces the oxygen in oxidized metals 
to the original metal. I am not expressing this well because I am 
blanking out on words. I have written so much about photography 
that this stuff should be branded into my memory but isn't. Many 
penetrating oils also have some sort of reducing agent. Its 
possible MMO has similar ingredients or something else that works 
as well. Now comes up the question of whether any of the magic 
unstickers would have worked without the previous application of 
five different kinds of penetrating oils. You know the story of 
the wife who asks her husband to get the lid off of a jar. He 
struggles with it and can't remove it. She then picks up the jar 
and it comes right off. So, who actually loosened up the lid?
