I'm trying to find a local source (south-central) Texas, for 5 gallon cans of mineral spirits for my parts washer. Yes I know there's some similar stuff available on-line but I'm trying to avoid shipping costs. The quart and 1 gallon containers are generally too expensive. If you have a national retailer in your area that may be here in the San Antonio area that information might help too.

Chemical Supply Store? Chevron or Shell products distributor? Good God when I visited at Lake Jackson the entire coastline was plugged with Chemical Plants and refineries.

I feel your pain Used to be that I could get parts washer "Solvent" in bulk @ $2.00/gallon Now that the EPA has arrived it costs $65.00 for 5 gallons and I get 20 gallons or more at a time Try 76 Union Solvent it's good stuff but expensive

Safe T KleenWOW! service calls are now insane. They reclaim used solvent now. Diesel 3.50 gallon, petroleo (kerosene) 4.40 gallon and it is yellow, and next to impossible to find down here. Sixty seven dollar drum deposit.Time to go home and swallow 17 pills and capsules.

Mineral spirits is used as a paint thinner......among other things.Look for a paint store in your area, like Sherwin Williams for example.Or a paint wholesaler.Find out where auto body shops in your area get their stuff from.

Try a paint store.. I do not know about paint stores today but back when dinosaurs walked the earth (perhaps I exaggerate slightly) I worked in a paint store and as I recall that was a product we sold.
