I use WD-40 as a starting fluid that is more gentle than ether. Pretty flammable stuff so don't get lackadaisical with it.

Acetone is an obscenely flammable liquid so be extremely careful with it

##  Point well taken.   Put a zippo lighter in front of WD-40, and see what 
happens.
Its literally a flame thrower.  The acetone, once mixed with the ATF or 
vegetable oil, gets
diluted quite a bit.   Still, you have to be careful.   I will try another 
batch, but this time with
30% acetone.   IE: a 70-30 mix.
