Default Tea Tea Oil as a Solvent?

I've only heard of Tree Tree Oil being used for cosmetic purposes.
Has anyone tried it as a solvent or does anyone know if there is a
solvent mixed with it?


Since it is a bit toxic
I suspect that it might often be sold in diluted form.


Boots sell it in pure form in 10ml or 20ml dropper bottles.

I just tried some on a cotton bud on some of that horrid soft plastic
skin that goes manky after a few years, it did dissolve it as black
gunge, not necessarily any more effective than other solvents you're
likely to have lurking around though.
