Thank you Matthew, it is just these short snippets of information that really help beginners like me. Thank you for sharing and explaining why.

Thank you for this concise explanation. I recently went into an auto parts store to ask about gloves (for clock repair), and the first question the store clerk asked was "what solvents will you be using?" I had no particular answer, so he couldn't help me. I and my hands thank you again.
