Harbor Freight sells the solvent for parts washers also.
Also if you have a freind with a shop, go and get a gallon or two of the saf-t-clean btw the paint lasts about 30 seconds when you fill the parts washer with solvent |

The only thing the local HF had for solvent was just degreaser. I you want real solvent, I found that all of the larger local NAPA's carried it.
Getting rid of the old stuff is another matter though. |

I use paint thinner/mineral spirits from hardware store or Home Depot. From an earlier post I understand it is about the same as cleaning solvent.
