I think we're seeing the vomitus from the most recent episode of
server flu.

der Mouse's message only just appeared in my
inbox, interestingly.
The first line was mine, not DM's. I also noted that benzine is
referred to as "petroleum ether" in the US and occasionally
"naphtha". Curiously, "petroleum ether" isn't an ether at all,
but
more a term of art. Regardless, the stuff is a somewhat inexact
mixture of high-volatility petroleum fractions. But *not* benzene,
which is almost as difficult to obtain as carbon tet or Freon TF
nowadays (either of which might work also).
I recommended contact cement thinner (contains other solvents in
addition to petroleum either) as a readily-available substitute. And
it dissolves latex.
Cheers,
