Hi Ken,
We're looking for a quick and cheap pre-compliance test. We know where to get the real thing but don't want to deal with purchasing and delays. Sorry for the confusion.

Very close to turpentine and paint thinner, which you can buy at the hardware store. Check out: http://www.naturalpigments.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=520-7751 Note the description is almost word-for-word the same as 60950-1!
