Has anyone else noticed that it's getting Harder harder to find solvents for use in finishing here in Michigan. First it was mineral spirits, now the only thing I can get is low odor mineral spirits and its not quite the same as good old fashioned mineral spirits.
Now it seems to be happening to turpentine, when I do find it it's like $12 a quart. Amazon is even higher. I found a gallon at my local mom and pop hardware store for $28 and I grabbed it.
I use the turps to make a furniture finish and to thin blo for the first couple of coats.
