Talking Xylene????????

Sorry Ive been slack on the post and pics, but finally got my light grey durabak in the mail and I'm damn near finished with the V20(for this season anyway). I can't believe everything I've done since I got it. I ran it offshore last Sunday in a nice 2' swell and it was awsome! Coming back in against the wind was nasty but it rides so good I cant believe it. I'm loving this boat! Anyway, I figured I'd paint the deck and shut down all boat repair operations for this year so as to not forget why I got it.......to fish and ride! I know I need to sand the deck well but where do I get the Xylene to clean after?

I'm heading offshore to fish a few reefs Sunday and will post pics Sunday night of all progress and trip. Thanks guys!

I would think you could use acetone, which would be available at any hardware store.

Check the hardware stores and Lowes or Home Depot.
One of the paints we were useing a several weeks ago required it to be used as cleanup or thinner.

I would try to get Xylene or substitute with Toluene. Both should be available at paint supply or HD or Lowes.
