WD-40 is basically Stoddard's solvent with some
light oils added.
From Wiki:
"White spirit, also known as Stoddard solvent is a paraffin-derived clear,
transparent liquid which is a common organic solvent used in painting and
decorating. It is a mixture of saturated aliphatic and alicyclic C7 to C12
hydrocarbons with a maximum content of 25% of C7 to C12 alkyl aromatic
hydrocarbons."
So, basically a close relative to paint thinner, right?
