Default Solvent for new Thompsons WaterSeal

Thompsons WaterSeal Advanced has been on the market
for a couple of years. The label promises "Easy soap & water
clean-up," the product apparently reformulated so as to comply
with European Union regulations restricting volatiles.

In practice, soap and water cleanup is by no means "easy."
The product contains some sort of wax that repels water
(and I dare say makes it effective on timber.) But what
sort of solvent can actually dissolve this component
so we can clean our brushes for reuse?

Hey Don,

Did you ever get a sufficient answer? Which worked best for you? Also, I'm going to be using this product for the first time. In fact, it will be my first time using any type of water sealer. What kind of brush is recommended to apply Advanced?
