Norm, if naptha has been banned, has lighter fluid been banned along with it?



From what I understand, Ronsonol lighter fluid is simply a slightly weaker solution of naptha than the stuff that's labeled as naptha. A plastic squeeze bottle of that is an item that you should be able to buy wherever cigarettes are sold.

One bottle should last you for years and years, so long as you're not also using it to refill a heavily used Zippo lighter! And even though it's somewhat weaker than the stuff that comes labeled as naptha, it works perfectly well to remove pickguard adhesive. It's all I've ever used.

If you can no longer buy lighter fluid in Sonoma County, the next time you visit San Francisco pick up a bottle. So long as you're not going to go around squirting it on Sonoma County law enforcement officials, I suspect your chances of getting busted for having it are probably pretty minimal....

Hope this helps.
