Hello all.

I am new to the nex obv. (in the nursery) but have been reading for several months now,
i wanted to add a story about SWIM.

So SWIM went through the hassel of searching through countless department stores searching and reading and more searching and more reading and lots of purchases later has finnaly come to the point where SWIM has a jar of pinkish mud in his closet and he wants to clean it up a little with a stringer solvent then just n-Heptane. So Swim in search of the purest products went on the hunt where he only found a couple sources of xylene, and one of d-limonene, unfortunatly none were as pure as the bottles claimed. so finally on SWIM's way home from the last store, HE drives past a plastics store that he didn't know was there, he walks in and finds pure VM&P Naptha, Pure Acetone, Weld on #3, and Xylene. now SWIM was only interested in the xylene at this moment but he didn't like that there was 2 additional ingredients. styrene, and another He Could not remember. so wile perusing the selves for other solvents he found BIO-SOLV which through further research came across that it was also called "ethyl ester" which SWIM has read can be used as an exelent NP solv.

anyways the question is can someone vouch for this product or shall SWIM test it out for himself i will try to attach the msds sheet for all to read.
