One source is: http://www.allsafetyproducts.biz/site/323655/product/CS%20NORF101-10 Yep, they are not cheap, but that's what you need to use for gloves. Methylene Chloride is a very effective cleaner for both waxes and oils. The problem is, it is so potent it will go right thru other glove materials and your skin. Don't get it on your skin and avoid breathing it by forced air ventilation of your shop. Why bother with MC? Every time you touch your project, your skin oils (and anything else on your hands) transfer to the rather absorbent surface of the composite. MC is a VERY good solvent for oils, Acetone is poor at best. Steve Colwell Legacy
