Default mineral spirits

Mineral spirits is an oil derivative. Odorless have been refined a bit
more and for any of my uses, works just as well.

Turpentine is distilled from pine tree resin. there is a Canadian Balsam
version also. It is often used in cleaning solutions as it has antiseptic
properties. IIRC, it is used to get rid of head lice too.

Paint Thinner seems to be a catch all term, probably so they can mix
together any solvents that happen to be available.



Thank you Ed. You answered my question. Odorless it is.
