Are there any special considerations for storing this concoction? Will it be OK 
to store it/ dispense it in one of those spray bottles available at Home Depot 
or does it need some other type of container?  Does it require the use of 
gloves or a mask when applying it? I don't think the chemicals by themselves 
are any more hazardous than PB blaster but just wanted to be sure before I mix 
up a batch.

The real bomb is a 50-50 mix of synthetic ATF  +  acetone.  That combo is more 
than 4X  better than  WD-40. 

PB blaster is a tiny bit better than WD-40..and that’s about it. 

Don’t believe me...try it yourself.   Acetone in tiny amounts, like half a 
pint, is available at
any paint store or home depot.  Synthetic ATF or regular good quality ATF is 
available at any 
auto supply parts store.   Just shake up the mix real good.... just prior to 
using it.
