[AT] Parts washer fluid

[Dudley Rupert]

Like Bill I also use thinner.  I started using it maybe four or five years
ago as it was/is so much cheaper than buying solvent five gallons at a time
from the local Standard/Chevron truck farm.  IMHO thinner works just as well
as the solvent I was buying for cutting grease.  However, as to your'
criteria of odor, skin irritability and particularly toxicity I am not a
chemist so I really don't know whether or not thinner will meet your'
criteria.

I use mineral spirits, buy it 5 - 10 gallons at a time from an oil
distributor.  Not as volatile as gasoline, so it doesn't evaporate away very
quickly.  My oil jobber told me it's the same thing as charcoal lighter, so
I've not bought any fire starter fluid since he told me that.  I had asked
him about Stoddard Solvent, he said this was pretty much the same stuff and
a bit cheaper this way.

Hello - is there a good solvent out there that cuts grease well, is
non-toxic, and doesn't have much of an odor?  I'd like to get in there with
my hands and not have to worry about choking on fumes or ruining my hands;
but I also want some stuff that really cleans well.

Thanks!
