What solvent are people running in their parts washers? It doesn't seem possible to get varsol any more. What do people use instead? Mineral spirits? Degreasol?

I had been using the gallon degreasers form Harbor Freight. They are like castrol super clean or simple green type cleaners. Add a gallon of that, fill with water and go.
The instructions of course say not to use flammable solvents like diesel fuel or stoddard solvents. |
