Message	What other solvents have you tried that make you recommend mineral spirits? How do you get rid of the mineral spirits when you're done? Are traces of mineral spirits safe in the engine oil? What about Hotsy chemicals? Do you leave all the toxic cleaning equipment exposed outside when you're not using them? How do you get rid of the toxic solvents when you're done? Yeah, I saw the HF parts washers but they're not heated and since I'm not smart on chemistry I have no sense for the efficacy without the normally added heat. I appreciate the help.
