Hi Kaylee
Similar to what used to be called 1.1.1 Trichloromethane?(or was it Ethane) which used to be the main ingredient in Tippex thinners. It too was a volatile solvent, and probably due to abuse( sniffing or some such nonscence) was banned by the "do gooders" some years ago. It was unsurpassed at removing filth from the works of tape recorders and such like.

Better stop now as I am seriously off topic...
