In years gone by, it used to be 1:1:1 Trichloroethane as the ideal
thinner.Â*Â* I know that was outlawed.

Have several bottles of genuine Tipp-ExÂ*Â*Â* (as apart from some water
based stuff)
The Warning triangle states Highly Flammable - so still solvent based.

Any of the Chemical chappies on here know what I could use as a thinner?
Â*..... I have some of the more common ones - meths, acetone, cellulose
thinners, Trichloroethane , ISO-propyl alcohol.

Bar code tells me it is Tipp-Ex Rapid made in Germany.
It is Art No. 4002523 09
UPCÂ* 0 7033051106 4

Wikipedia says that has now been replaced by Aliphatic Hydrocarbon, and
also now uses a foam brush.
The containers I have still have the original 'brush'Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* ..... so
unsure if the product is with or without Tricho





Nice chat on explosives ..... anybody any further suggestion on Thinner
to use.
