AndrewIC Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Does anyone know what the thinners are for removing Rylard Incralac? The data sheet just says "number 4", but what is it? Cellulose? Xylene? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjw Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Rylards web page says cellulose thinners or Nitromors. I will probably get round to doing mine in the Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewIC Posted January 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Thanks. I was looking at the Datasheets here which just says no.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave moore Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I’ve used Acetone in the past. Good stuff! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanA Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Cellulose thinners is effective, acetone based Nail varnish remover works too but not quite as quickly that’s what I found anyway. i think I concluded no 4 thinners was good old fashioned cellulose thinners...

Dr Bob Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Rylard don't give any material safety data sheets (msds) on the web site like most suppliers so can't tell what No 4 is. It does say any paint stripper though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the same stuff. Different supplier. That is isopropyl alcohol. Acetone likely a better stripper or nitromors. IPA is quite tame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There appear to be loads of ‘Thinners No 4’ and they all appear to be much the same although some seem to contain xylene (great stuff for cleaning video heads in VTRs) https://www.swpaintsonline.com/ekmps/shops/leighs/resources/Other/c4-hs.pdf https://www.bostik.com/globalassets/tdsdocuments/bostik-no.-4-solvent_new_zealand_en/technical-data-sheet/no-4-solvent-tds-v1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theirs was isopropanol as well. THe second link is bostik but they dont say what is in the thinner. Xlyene is a very good cleaner but not too good for skin contact - isopropanol is tame in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
