Never seen that, lol. It used to be at Home Depot (they made it illegal in CA)

Just read the back and check the ingredients. I can't imagine 1% of soemthing else would do much. But last I checked... Some of is work at a company with many, MANY scientists... (AHEM, me) and if there is something else in a can you find, just post it up.


And look for Xylene as a backup, you will have to mix other stuff in with it, but maybe it's more available
