But for cleaning most stuff, cleaning wax and oil off cast iron, or

even used it for thinning polyurethane for spraying... (Almost)
anything paint thinner does, lacquer thinner does better.


Bah!!! Too expensive to keep it on hand by the gallon. Go to the
refinisher supply houses and buy it by the 5 gal can. Much cheaper.
Besides that, the 5 gal can gives you a convenient place to sit down
an light up a cigarette...

When I used to paint cars, I bought the cheap stuff in 5 gallon cans
for spraying primer, but now, in my wood shop, a gallon lasts me a
long, long time.

I don't buy the cheap stuff - not worth it. Virgin is far better. I just
have to ask though - how in the hell do you sit on that one gallon can?
