Sorry to dig this old thread up again but I learned a whole bunch just reading what you guys had to say ! The other day I did some research in my area.
I found 100% toluene at $8.95 per gallon, still seemed a bargain compared to Pep Boys quart bottle of 108 Boost at $5.99/quart which lists toluene as a partial ingredient. The entire quart would raise the tank about 3 tenths. The gallon can of toluene was found at a Sherwin Williams Paint store.
No other availability in pure form anywhere I looked in my area.
The rep told me 5 gallon cans were $44.75. No gain there !
Other products listed as lacquer thinners (mentioned on this thread) had ingredients that totally lost me !
Toluene 108-88-3
Methanol 67-56-1
Acetone 67-64-1
Iospopyl Alchohol 67-63-0
N.Butyl Acetate 123-86-4
I did not stop by a body shop as suggested above.
Is toluene still a bargain at $8.95 per gallon ?
