Lowes nearby has this naphtha fast dry. Is this okay or is it the same as regular naphtha or does it have chemicals I want to avoid?

That's the stuff.

If you're ever unsure about a solvent: look up the MSDS, then do an evaporation test.

And if all else fails, there's always The Official "Is this chem ok to use? / Where can I find ...?" Thread

I'm curious what makes it fast dry?

Maybe you could do an evap test and let us know how it goes.

Probably fast-dry because it's made of lighter naphta. Less heavy carbon (C8, C9, etc...) and more light carbon (C6, C7) and smaller molecules evapore easily, need less energy (heat).

Don't know if i'm understable


You can use it if you perform an evap test before, just to be sure it's clean

Exactly what DansMaTete said, it's probably light naphtha with only light hydrocarbons Pentane-Hexane-Heptane (C5,C6,C7) these evaporate very fast, Octane ( C8 ) and up are very slow to evaporate.

Hmm... Would any of those attributes cause it to be a better or worse chem to pull DMT?

I've used this stuff since the beginning. It works fine, evaps clean. This IS regular naphtha, it's just faster drying than say xylene or some of the other solvents, thus labeled 'fast dry'. It still takes days to evaporate 300ml without a fan...
