If you have
a Flat Top Compass, it is recommended that you test the fluid to see
if it is odorless mineral spirits or isopropyl alcohol.
How would you do that?
Put a match to it?
No, although you could *try* that.... ever *seen* alcohol burn? That
could get interesting............. and exciting!
Using alcohol's affinity for water.....
I would combine one part water and ten parts of the unknown liquid and
shake vigorously.
If it is mineral spirits the total volume of liquid would increase, if
alcohol, the volume would not exceed ten parts.
