i am almost out of b-s (no, not that kind, of which the world's supply seems to be inexhaustable and self regenerating) but rather the chemical sort so useful in lacquer repairs, etc. went to reorder and can't find any readilly available in modest quantities.

does anyone know of a source in quart or gal containers?        crazymanmichael38938.4087268518

Michael, when I googled butyl cellusolve, it gave butyl cellosolve as an alternative. I this the same stuff? If so check out this link: The Chemistry Store

Sherwinn Williams stocks it available in gallons as item # R6K25. If you go in
to one of thier stores just make sure you have the item number in hand to
special order. The people in the store have never been able to find the
product in thier catalog unless I I had the product number on me.

that is the stuff.

david, have copied the item number. my experience with s-w sales people has not been entirely satisfactory either.

thanks for the information guys.

Okay, I'm gonna plead ignorance here. Why do you add butyl cellusolv to your lacquer? Is it to keep it from blushing? Are there other advantages?

Thanks Todd! I was aware of it helping with blushing, just didn't know if there were other things it helped with.
