I had a small can of the virgin laquer thinner laying around so thought I would use it to remove the backpad glue in the engine compartment. It blew right through the glue...then through the paint...finally stopping at the primer coat.
Is there a difference between virgin and regular? I just wanted to remove the glue from the firewall, the old paint *was* in good condition. |

Virgin LT is stuff that is band new and shiny...with the new smog laws ALL shops recycle the paint and wash thinners and "stuff" in solvent stills. After a while the stilled out "stuff" that comes out of the still is so thick and nasty it is hauled off as waste itself.
