=$2.79 locally= (It's a component of lighter fluid...) It is *highly* -- I
say again -- *highly* flammable. So flammable, *thinking* about having a
cigarette will touch this stuff off.
The fumes are kinda harmful, and it evaporates so quickly it will suck the
moisture from your hands (those with sensitive skin, wear rubber gloves) so
don't leave the cap off for a weekend in the basement... you'll be greeted
with a highly explosive basement and no mo naphtha.
Sounds good. I'll have to go out and get me some. And maybe I'll use it
to clean my computers with too. :)
the dye out, that I've ever seen. So it may work
well on removing grease
pencil wax, but if the dye in the grease pencil has stained the plastic,
try another of the fine suggestions here.
Like I said about this citrus orange cleaner, it does the trick. Naphta
sounds fun though, and it would be cool to say also, if it wasn't a
synonym for a trade agreement acronym.
Sam,
Regarding your post about L.O.C. (which stands for Liquid Organic Cleaner,
BTW, and was Amway's first product over 35 years ago) do you dilute it
first (as per instructions?)
L.O.C. mixed 1:1 (water:LOC) is also good at getting crayon off of walls
(as always, hope there's decent quality paint when kids are around) and
mixed 2:1 works great for getting the green gunk out of the grooves of your
golf clubs!
I used it from a spray bottle which has a dial where you can adjust the
dilution anywhere from pure water to pure LOC. I normally have it on 3
or 4, which is 1:1 (water/LOC) and like .5:1 respectively. Too much LOC
just makes it too soapy. It seems you definitely need the water for a
good cleaning solution, although soaking in LOC sometimes does wonders.
