Might be a New Zealand thing, it isn't easy to get
here, you can get 40% mixed with xylol ie paint
stripper easily enough, I've been told that it can be
used for making metamphetamine or extracting oil from
cannabis, what % do you need for cleaning?
I have managed to get one of the pharmacists to sell
me some, I need enough to soak 35 tape rollers. But I
got some very funny looks going around town looking
for it. And even stranger looks when I told them what
it was for. I have never said the word Mellotron to
any one in New Zealand with out getting a blank stare.
I haven't met anyone here who has ever noticed that
the intro to Strawberry Fields isn't played on an
acoustic flute.
