RE: parts cleaner

["TJ" <tj@domain.elided>]

I'm not sure about that.............I believe Mineral Spirits and
Stoddard Solvent may share a common petrochemical foundation but I
believe they are refined differently which changes them substantially.
I don't believe that Mineral Spirits have the high flash point that
Solvent does, and I also believe that this increased volatility is
evident through its propensity to evaporate very quickly if not sealed.

TJ
