RG> What do you mean by varsol and karosene not being toxic??
Forgot what I originally posted, but what I meant is that varsol and kerosene 
are less hazardous (ie. flamable/explosive) than other solvents that people 
have used (naptha, gasoline, barbeque starter). But yes they contain fewer 
toxins than some of the other solvents that you could use. Any solvent that 
belongs to either the Keytone or Benzine family should be avoided unless you 
take the proper safety precautions. For example, a common industrial 
(Aerospace) solvent is Methyl Ethyl Keytone. It has a flash point of about 18 
degrees cent., is extremely toxic and just slightly safer to handle than 
Nitro-glycerine. Benzine compounds are extremely toxic and highly flamable. 
But getting back to the original point, both varsol and kerosene mix well 
with ordinary motor oil, are cheap, easily handled and readily available at 
any Canuk Tire store.
They make the best chain cleaner/lubricants (when mixed 50/50 with oil)
