Toluene and other solvents in California
Does anyone know any OTC sources of toluene in California? Everything is banned either because idiots tried sniffing it or "evironmental health".

I have a bunch of toluene available I’m trying to sell.
You can find my post in the recent list of threads. For toluene, I’ve been offering people 1L for $15 and 1gal for $30. The price just keeps going
down the more people buy. It’s ACS grade 99.90%. Plenty more available than this.

Wow. Too bad you’re not in Texas. Every lumber yard in the state and most hardware stores sell toluene by the gallon. About $18, a little less in
some places, a little more in others.
You can’t claim you drank all day if you didn’t start early in the morning.

At least in the part of Texas where I lived, I was still only able to
find toluene at certain Ace Hardware stores. Home Depot and Lowe’s didn’t carry it. It wasn’t exactly a breeze to find.
So I’d try Ace if you haven’t yet. They might still have it in California too. Then again, when I search their website, the only things that come
up are xylene and the dreaded “Painter’s Solvent” that seems to be popping up more and more in place of pure solvents.

Ace is normally the first place I check, but alas, no luck. California’s VOC laws prevent anything like toluene from being sold in large quantities.
Perhaps if I check some paint shops they might carry it under restrictions.

You can get it on Amazon. May not be the best price but you indeed can get it in CA.
