try www.diggersaust.com.au (http://www.diggersaust.com.au) look at the MSDS and that will tell you what is in the mineral turp then you may be able to find your equal

in the first stage of the cure,,you will have read you can use toluene or xylene as well as mineral turpentine or mineral spirits,,,,run with the other 3 over min sprits,,,,i can say that white spirits is hexane,,in australia its shellite,,,,the cure looks a yank recipe, as such, mineral spirits may be anything,,,,and youll find no difference if you use either toluene or xylene in stage 3 where it calls for mineral spirits,,,good luck

Hey, Kirby. Swim's going to do the ephedrine wash and A/B extraction tonight. Wish him luck. Annie is being (hopefully...stupid dickhead) picked up tonight.
