As SLow Forty says, “mix it 50/50”. It tends to separate so shake it up every few hours.
Add some MEK to the mix if you have some. Methyl Ethel Keatone.

===============================================
I've been experimenting with acetone/trans fluid 50-50 mix for over
two years now.
I've had this RUSTY nut/bolt that holds two pieces of trailer hitch
metal together, did I mention it's RUSTY.
For the first couple months or more, I always kept adding the acetone
a couple times a day, because it does evaporate very fast.
Every few days, I would take the nut/bolt out and try to get it loose
with 1/2 inch drive tools, after a couple months, that got REAL OLD.
Screw the acetone, what a joke... So, for 2 years or more now, it has
been soaking in just the trans fluid. I take it out about once a month
and try the 1/2" drive tools, and still NOT a chance in heck is it budging.
If you are getting rusty stuff loose with a 50-50 mix of that crap. THEN
your stuff is Not really very rusty, and a good penetrating spray would
have worked better for you, and a lot less hassle then the mix crap.
I'm going to experiment with "the soaking it in water trick" for a
month or two, and see how that works, wish me luck.
