Penetrol(or boiled linseed oil) and Naphtha,60/40.Plus you can always add a little Jap Dryer to it if you're really concerned about dry time.

Bottom line...if the word Shellac is involved don't use it.
Thanks for the info.

Do rags soaked in Penetrol have the same spontaneously-combustible concerns as BLO?
