heptane

which prompted me to outlurk and toss in $A 0.02 (0.014 US :-) ) and a
brief bio.
comment: no real surprises there, you could probably put chloroform up there
too - all good organic solvents. personally ethyl alcohol would be
my choice of poison.
brief bio: i have become interested, primarily as a user, in old
tools; partially as a delayed rebellion against paternal regard for
fine sawdust and noise rather than shavings :^) . no specific reason to
actually get interested in woodwork, just happened on it somehow and
found the production of shavings a most restful alternative to making
cells jump through hoops at the PhD grindstone and easier to arrange than
getting away into the mountains for a good bushwalk.
unfortunately tool acquisition appears rather more difficult in this
part of the antipodes than i gather in parts northerly, but living
in the heart of some perrrfect wine country does help.
