The solvent used in manufacure of Goop is toluene (sometimes called toluol or methylbenzene).  the stuff is not good for your liver and is flammable (not as flammable as acetone).  You should make sure you use this material in a well ventilated area.  A similar adhesive is E-6000, which is essentially identical to Goop, but the solvent is tetrachloroethylene, a solvent used in dry cleaning (also not good for the liver).  Others have used other mixtures of solvent, but I've used toluene with good results.

I know this has been discussed many times before but what is an acceptable
solvent to use to thin Goop to make a substitute for Dave's Flexament?
Thank you in advance for your insight.
