You can get it at Michaels Arts and Crafts. It's sold as Bestine.

It's kinda spendy but great for recrystallizing.

It's in art stores in the rubber cement isle next to the Elmers glue.
The brand is Bestine, and you can get enough to last for forever for $4.

There are some things.

wowsers, which store are you getting your bestine from? i just got some from michael's last week for recrystallizing and it was like $15 for the smallest container. (pint)

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!

I went to Jerry's art-a-rama. It's like $3.88 for a pint there. It's a dedicated artist store, not an art and craft store. They also have amazing prices on paint and brushes too if your into that kind of stuff. Synthetic fur brushes with nice handles for around 5 bucks Very happy

Don't they sell Coleman fuel all over the states?
In Europe Coleman fuel is heptane with a little pentane.

Do you mean Coleman camping fuel like this...



Don't use that stuff I've had negative experience with it turning my crystals green. It has some rust inhibitors in it and is not suitable for any part of the extraction/crystallization process.
I haven't used any other kinds of Coleman brand fuels though so I can't say about them.
I'd recommend just staying away from it altogether.

thanks for the reply. Ive come across a few brands that others have deemed acceptable, i.e. UN DU, bestine, and powerfuel. unfortunately i cannot find them in my area and would prefer not to ship solvents..
so the search continues! i suppose ill pull up the msds on these brands and compare with other local paint thinners i can find.
Much obliged \mm/
