Whiting is calcium carbonate usually mined from chalk deposits.
It's main use is as an absorbent. Fullers earth or diatomaceous earth will

The solvent depends on what your removing the oil from.
If it's your tie, I would use carbo chlor.
If it is your driveway, I would use kerosene.

Or better yet, mineral spirits. Kero is a light oil, so always leaves
a bit of oil behind.

Any diy's for this stuff? I've heard "whiting" and solvent, but,
what the heck is "whiting"? And which solvent?

The commercial is about $18 for 24 oz. Like to make a couple of
gallons.


thanks
