[Shop-talk] Parts solvent

[David C.]

I prefer solvent based cleaners.  Kerosene will work but it's smelly and 
oily.  Likewise diesel.  I prefer regular mineral spirits/paint 
thinner/stoddard solvent.  If you're feeling wealthy, you can use 
Agitene, but I don't think it works much better than regular mineral 
spirits.
