If you wish to avoid the trace amounts of benzine and the other trace hydrocarbons which do not readily evaporate, you can use Bestine's rubber cement solvent and thinner rather than naptha. Bestine's solvent is 100% n-heptane, the primary ingredient of naptha. Bestine's costs more than using Coleman stove fuel (also mainly naptha) at $10-$15 a quart (or $7-$10 a pint), but about the same as lighter fluid. Also, Bestine's comes in smaller four ounce cans for less cost ($3-$4).
