You don't want to breathe most chemicals and solvents like acetone is
one to avoid breathing a lot of. That said, ACETONE is the main
ingredient in fingernail polish remover which can be had with or without
oil included. The oil free version is basically acetone and will
"degrease" your fingertips. The "with oil" version doesn't dry your skin
so much.
You should avoid breathing just about anything that comes in an aerosol
can or that is highly volatile (like acetone.) Other than not breathing
a lot of the fumes there are no particular caveats of which I am aware
to making, storing, or using the ATF/acetone mix. I wouldn't try to
store it in a plastic container as it might soften/leak.
My best guess is that using/storing the ATF-acetone mix is no more
dangerous than storing/using fingernail polish remover.

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.
