I've also used naptha for years.  Works fine, dries quickly. it's cheap and readily available.

News flash!!!  I can finally see grass in my backyard!  Living in Ottawa has it's pleasures, but a short winter ain't one of them!

I haven't used T-100 but "low-odor" and "odorless" are basically the same thing.

 

I use white gas - camping fuel. Flammable sure but in many years I've yet to have a problem with it. It dries fast and you don't need much to wet the tape - and, it you buy "generic" from K-mart, Wal-Mart, and others it costs less than mineral spirits.

Subject: ShopTalk: gripping solvent

Hi All,
For some time now I have been using "odorless" mineral spirits as my gripping solvent but I can't get it anymore, all that seems to be available is "low odor" which is a far cry from "odorless," someone suggested T-100 gripping solvent and that it was easy on the hands, i.e., did not dry out your skin on your right index finger, but I can't seem to locate it, yes TFlan I did search 9 ways to Sunday but to no avail.
Anyone have any experience with this T-100?
Know where to get it?
David
