Bought some Eastwood Guide Coat, reading the contents and noticed is contains Petroleum Naphtha (Petroleum naphtha is an intermediate hydrocarbon liquid stream derived from the refining of crude oil). Is it ok to use this stuff? :confused:

Another name for it is "odorless mineral spirits". Paint thinner for for oil based paints (house paint). It's essentially what "wax and grease remover" is.

It's ok unless you want to avoid ALL products like that. Some freaks do avoid them. Most don't.

Is the Eastwood stuff a liquid? Must be.

You may want to check into the 3M dry guide coat as an alternative. It's a powder. But I clean it up with wax and grease remover.

Well I don't consider myself a freak so I will use it lol I don't really like the powder because it wont stick on metal.
