Anyone seen or know if citrus solvent (solvent not citrus cleaner) is available locally? This is supposed to be a natural/biodegradable alternative to paint thinner/mineral spirits, acetone, etc.

It looks like it is classified as combustible, so shipping may be an issue.

Re: Citrus solvent, alternative to paint thinner

Update: Finally got some of this d-Limonene. Ordered last May but getting to see it only now. It smells very good!

Several online sources, but got it from here, $38/gal. If anyone knows a cheaper source for the specified grade (food) and purity (100%), or if there is a local source, would be interested to know.
