No. Naphthalene is a total different chemical than liquid naphtha thinner. Naphthalene is an aromatic (benzene ring molecular structure) while liquid naphtha thinner is an aliphatic molecule, or straight chain carbon structure similar to mineral spirits but more volatile than mineral spirits. On S

I have some naphthalene moth balls which are basically pure naphthalene. Naphthalene sublimes from solid crystals to vapour with no liquid phase and no residue. it also dissolves in gasoline. It is quite effective in dissolving high molecular weight organics that can mess up small orifices such as

I don't agree,  at least here in the U.S. that premium gas doesn't have ethanol in it.  There are,  however,  gas stations that have a pump reserved for non-ethanol gas. Bruce Sent from Samsung tablet. null___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list w

I second the Porta-boat and ~2hp outboard. We've used an inflatable but just because it folds up does not mean that it is small or light. Neither is the ports boat but at least I can lash it to a lifeline station and it is more or less out of the way - though the benches need stowed too. The out

Hi Edd, Here's what I did: I went with a Portabote because it can easily be driven with a torqeedo, and in fact it is our preferred motor as opposed to the 6 hp 4 stroke that came with the boat.  The 6 hp motor will drive the boat at 13 kts with both me and my wife it it, but as another person m

I have a Porta-Bote which I like, but likely will not meet your requirements for dinghy. The boat folds up and stores easily between the shrouds and the cabin top, but the seats take up some space. As to electric motor, I recently looked into buying one when I was having trouble with my 2007 S

First, make sure whatever inflatable you buy has thermowelded seams. I think all of them should be that way now. Don't buy glued seams. I had one of those. The bottom fell out one day on the way to the beach. Nothing like zipping along in a bottomless donut with a 7.5 hp motor. Second, motors
