Re: mineral spirits

Either mineral spirits or kerosene will work great. Kerosene drys very slow , so if you have a lot of tar you will get more dwell time. Spirits dry much faster. Years ago Zeibart would give people a small bottle of Zeibart solvent to remove any rustprofing that driped a few days later. I watch them fill the bottles from a 55 gallon drum of deoderized mineral spirits. If you buy spirits get the deorderized kind, it cost a little more money , but it smells better.
