Odorless MS

[Fred Belknap]

I need some mineral spirits. At the local store that I usually but things like that they only have the odorless type. I was wondering if there was a difference other than the smell? I feel that it probably has something to do with the VOC content.

As far as I know there isn't any difference in functionality. I have been using odorless for years, and I haven't noticed any oddities or changes from the stinky stuff.

Ordorless is all I use...........works for me.

Thanks guys I got a can of the odorless today. I guess the regular is no longer available. I guess there is a reason but it escapes me, maybe just the smell.:o

I've been using Klean-Strip odorless and natural MS for a while now and it works well. No smell and I don't have to worry too much about the the hounds getting into it.

Just remember that the fumes from "odorless" mineral spirits are just as toxic as the stinky kind!

Odorless mineral spirits? Stinky Maple??? What's the world coming to? Hopefully Odorless Maple will be available soon!

I ran out of MS a couple months back and when I went to the borg to get more they were out. I was looking for a substitute and noticed that the Klean-Strip paint thinner indicated on the label that it was made from MS so I got it. It seems to smell and function very similar to MS, I wonder what the difference is other then packaging and price?

James, if you look the product up online it has to have a MSDS in which all the ingredients have to be listed etc. Probably the best way to find out for sure :)
