   IPA does not work.  Not sure about using Meths due to it being coloured blue.    
   Has anyone tried paraffin?  I might experiment.   In old days (25 years ago) I   
   had a good supply of 1,1,1 trichlroethane (commercially Chlorothene) and   
   before that 1,1,1 trichloroethylene ("trike"), so Tipp-Ex thinning was easy as
