Tap Magic Original is 90% 1,1,1 trichloroethylene. There are several

Lockheed phased out the use of 1,1,1 trichoroethane about 12 years ago
and went to a orange peel based solvent.
The mechanics did not like the change as trich is a excellent solvent
in many ways, but not good for your health.
I doubt if it is readily available now.

Yup, I see that I made an error that a couple of people pointed out here,
confusing trichloroethylene with trichlorethane. The hell of it is, I
remember correcting that mistake in an article I was editing, which had been
written by someone else, almost 30 years ago. g
