Is Shellite naphtha?
Naphtha?

Re: Naphtha?
I also understand Shellite to be Naptha. I use it immediately prior to all lacquer coats after any light sanding just to make sure everything is clean.

Shellite is essentially naptha: http://www.recochem.com.au/files/downlo ... _Sep11.pdf
Keep it off your skin as well as using it in a well ventilated space.
