Re: White spirit for cleaning? Message #12 Posted by Mark Edmonds on 9 July 2009, 7:14 a.m., in response to message #11 by Michael de Estrada
Thank you very much for all the help here.
Just to clarify the solutions I have already:
White Spirit is listed as "Naphta (petroleum) hydroesufurised heavy UN No 1300 Turpentine Substitute (White Spirit)"
and Methylated Spirits is listed as "Ethanol and Methanol UN No 1170 Ethanol Solution"
I remember from my early modelling days that meths had a nasty habit of decaying plastic so I wont be using that!
I think meths is the same as denatured alcohol.
I am going to see what the local chemists have along the lines advised in posts above and I'll report back what I find. I am not a chemist so it can get very confusing with all these names, especially when different countries use different identifiers!
