Hey there,
i found two sources of hydrocarbons (can't find Naphtha sold under this name here), as I'm a noob i don't really see why the Surgical spirit is so much more expensive? It feels better to use this one but only because its medical does it mean it's better? I don't wannt to bother you with this question which probably comes up all the f**king time. Thanks for helping me out anyways! :) Merry X mas!

I would go for the second option you put in the post. That's basically light naphtha. In any case do make an evaporation test to see if the solvent leaves any residue. If it does not it's good to use if it does I suggest you do not use it.

Both don't leave residues...the medical one even evaporates faster. Is there any benefits except the price? like what is better lower or higher boiling point?
Thanks!:) :d
