Just a note to Stef- "Boeing" kerosene should not be used (here we call it "JP-4" or similar)

I was hoping you had noticed Stef's query Jeff. I knew alcohol is too good a solvent and evaporates like crazy but I didn't recall just what is the best fluid. Stoddard Solvent crossed my mind a couple times but that didn't sound right either. Where does one find "triple distilled kerosene?"

Compass fluid: 1/2 pint and quart It's $1.85 for 1/2 pint or $6.50/qt. But Stef was looking for a local replacement so he could avoid overseas hazardous shipping, which would make it quite expensive for him. Mineral spirits would probably be the easiest to find at the local hardware store. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
