[quote:304a9861a9="Jumpy"]How do you get naptha to boil?? Isn't its BP over the BP of water?[/quote:304a9861a9] nope.Naptha is a pretty general term.It can be a mixture of different solvents.the brand I use is almost pure heptane with frations of hexane.Ideally you want pure hexane,and heptane is the second best choice.If you can find "Bestine" sold at art supply stores it is pure heptane. heptane boils at 98C and hexane boils at 69 C.I place a jar in a hot water bath on a hot plate or in the crockpot till I see it bubble.
