    .

    I use lacquer thinner.
    Now I lay me down to sleep
    A gun beside me is what I keep
    If I awake, and you're inside
    The coroner's van is your next ride

    I use Denatured Alcohol to remove the paste wax off the steel parts after glass bedding stocks.
    And I need to remove the paste wax before I blue the parts.

    We always used ammonia on the wax on the floors.
