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.
