We use XS xylene substitute and we get it from Statlab.  No odor.

Wondering what folks are using as a xylene substitute.  We have used
Americlear for many years and it has worked well.  I would like to find
something that is biodegradable and doesn't have such a strong odor.
Any suggestions or recommendations?  Thanks.
