The key word in your comment when referring to xylene is "virtually" (xylene free). If you want to be "totally" xylene free switch to isopropyl alcohol to dehydrate and before the paraffin wax. As simple as tat! René J.

We were so glad to find something that allowed us to become virtually xylene free. We still need xylene for some things but not nearly the quantity that we used to keep around. The folks at Anatech were so helpful in helping us get started. We also recycle our ProPar which has saved us quite a bit of money over the years. I would recommend it!
