Ever since they outlawed the sale and use of mineral spirits, I've been struggling to find a suitable replacement. Acetone is all they sell and it's so volatile, even compared to gasoline, I'm not yet sure what to use.
What do you use?
I use mineral spirits or WD-40. I hadn't realized you can't get mineral spirits in California.
