CS.. I know you weren't "Talking out of your hat".. you are one of the most knowledgable guys on this site (IMHO
). I agree on the mineral spirits, turps, thinner thing. No one seems to know what paint thinner is only that it doesn't THIN paint it pretty much destroys it and breaks it down into.. well.... crap. I think thinner is more of a brush cleaning solution.
The only thing I can think of on the old BIN can is that perhaps there was a company called BIN that made BIN and 123 which was later bought out by Zinsser
. No Idea I just know what's on the newer lables and about the newer products.
