Bestine Solvent And Thinner For Rubber Cement – Cleans Ink, Adhesive And Parts, 16 Ounce Can Review

Bestine Rubber Cement Thinner is the only chemical I purchase everything else is all non-toxic. But this is the only product that will do the job of removing stickers and if you need to thin out you're drying out rubber cement. Goo Gone will stain is only good for nonporous surfaces. Been using Bestine for years. Hard to find, especially in a 32 ounce size. Can't find it in any stores anymore, especially can't find it in Art Supply Stores 🎨 because they don't exist anymore unfortunately…

Add a little when your rubber cement starts getting too thick, and it's now like new.Winds up saving me money as I don't go through as much rubber cement. As we all know, once you open a bottle or can, it starts drying out.The thinner brings it back to like new consistency and you don't have to throw away any.

I use this product to remove stickers from book dustjackets. I had previously been using GooGone, but that sometimes left a stain. This is the superior product for what I use it for.

Over the years I've found Bestine is a but unreliable in quality. Sometimes you'll get nice, clean solvent that leaves no residue, other times the cans will come with a small amount of white, clumpy, powdery substance in the bottom of the can and the solvent will leave a little white residue on evaporation. Walmart has also snuck a not insignificant markup into their Bestine price over the years and it's now way cheaper to buy directly from Blick Art Materials.

%This rubber cement remover is also a terrific product for philatelists who wish to remove self-adhesive postage stamps from envelopes and such. Most US stamps made over the last 25-30 years are hard to get off paper without damaging the stamp, but this stuff works wonders. And it's so easy! Just pour a bit of the liquid in a metal container (I use an old cooking pot) for about a minute and the stamp peels right off. And a little bit of talcum or baby powder will help get rid of any sticky…

I recently had cause to utilize this can of Bestine solvent in blending colors in a picture. It was the first time I had used the product and I was very impressed. The solvent allows the artist to nicely mix colors on high quality artist grade paper. Bestine is very thin and not at all turgid, as are some other solvents like turpentine. Additionally, the evaporative rate is "super fast" and I found that the product was totally evaporated within about 15 seconds. Thus, the product allows

Graphic designers used to use this solvent to dilute their presentation board adhesive or remove it altogether. It still is the best thing available to remove stickers and stubborn price tags . MUCH better than Goo Gone or other products I have encountered here in the U.S. Glad I can still get this stuff, and love the old-fashioned container

Works very well at removing stubborn stickers. I tried all the home remedies like WD-40, hair spray, baby oil, etc. I tried the commercially available removers like Goof Off and nothing worked well. The other methods also left behind a residue that then had to be cleaned off and are unusable on paper or cardboard.Some of the glue from the sticker will get dissolved and leave a residue on paper and cardboard. On metal, glass or plastic, that residue can be removed with a second application on a…

I am a game collector & reseller and I use this with a cotton swab to remove permanent marker, adhesive residue, and stickers from game cartridges, discs (the art side, obviously I don't use this on the data side), and plastic cases. It is so much better than using alcohol, goo gone, etc. It basically breaks down the adhesives and dries off on its own. For marker, I just keep applying and rubbing until all the marker residue has been picked up by the q-tips. For adhesive residue, the same. For…
