HOW TO REMOVE STUBBORN BOLTS WITH DEEP CREEP

REMOVING THE MOST STUBBORN BOLTS

Sea Foam Deep Creep is already effective at penetrating rusty threads to ease bolt and nut removal. But what do you do when even penetrating oil cannot help break it free?

When it doesn’t come loose, the next step for getting stubborn fasteners loose is to apply heat with a torch.

This is a big concern if you’ve already soaked the area with a normal penetrating oil, as it is likely to immediately catch fire. Not with Deep Creep!
A huge advantage Deep Creep has over other penetrating oils is that you can use a propane torch without fear of lighting the area on fire, as it is more stable in high temperatures.

PREMIUM PENETRATING OIL AND LUBRICANT

Deep Creep frees stubborn parts from rust and corrosion and resists extreme heat and evaporation

HOW TO FIX iT

USING DEEP CREEP WITH A TORCH

To get maximum rust penetration using heat with Deep Creep, first ensure there are no flammable materials around the area you’re heating. Light your propane torch, make adjustments as needed, and gently heat up the rusted bolt or nut. This process works best when it is hot, but not to the point that it is glowing red. Only heat for about a minute before turning off the torch and getting your can of Deep Creep.
Spray directly on the surface you need the oil to penetrate, and allow it to work into the threads for a few minutes. The heat will allow the oil to be even more effective by partially breaking the rust, as well as creating slightly larger paths for the oil to work its way in further.
Depending on the application, you may want to start working the seized part while it is still hot. If you decide to do so, make sure to be extremely careful as other areas you don’t expect to be hot may be very hot. If you get some movement now, adding a little more Deep Creep while working the fastener back and forth will help break any residual material and get that stubborn fastener loose!

QUALITY OF PRODUCT
BEST STUFF EVER
“Loosens rusted bolts, hinges, rusted solid tools? Not a problem! I own a shop, now retired, and used Deep Creep nearly exclusively! I restore old trucks, and cars. Deep Creep gets me through bolts that haven’t moved I’m 70 years, no problem! I was given a can to try by a parts house, and rely on it every day since. The only problem I have, is keeping it. People love it so much, they walk off with it! Had to instruct my buddy on how much to use. A tiny amount, compared to all the others, like PB Blaster, WD40, all those. The only way theh get in my shop, is by coming with the old trucks I buy! Deep Creep for the win!”

WORKS EVERY TIME LOVE IT
“This product has loosened up or freed every stick bearing or bolt I’ve used it on. It even got a frozen bearing in a disc plow that had been sitting outside for 3 years open to the weather to free up. Sprayed it in because the top had been left off the grease port so bearing got rain and snow in it. I sprayed it let it soak for about 30min and tried moving the disc. Slowly back and forth and after a few tries it broke free and spun on its own. Very impressed with this product I recommend it to everyone.”
