One of the fuel depot type places around here, where I buy my #1
Diesel, sells Stoddard Solvent out of a pump (like a gas pump),
something like $3 or $4 a gallon, basically it's parts washer solvent,
easy on your hands, evaporates off the parts but not enough to empty
the parts washer. That's my choice for whatever it's worth.
