I did use it and had no problems. However, it is said to be hard on brushes and as "toxic" as turp and mineral spirit... I did a few "underwash" with this stuff and experienced no trouble. The question is: what is the purpose of it if it is as "toxic" as other solvent. Asking myself this question, I have returned to turp for mediums and mineral spirit for cleaning. The main rule with solvents is a well ventilated area. Turp and citrus solvent can be absorbed threw healty skin.
