FWIT, I tried some "green" paint thinner. It was horrible! Besides not working it made my wife nauseous. I used to get the real stuff from Chevron but I can't find it anymore. I just use paint thinner for big stuff and initial cleaning and acetone or lacquer thinner to really get stuff clean. I also use isopropyl alcohol before painting things often. Disposal isn't a problem for me as there is a waste disposal station near me that will take everything. You have to be local and non-business. I have been thinking of cnecking with the Safety Kleen (?) distributor and see if they have a hobbyist package for solvent.
