Xylene

Xylene solvent is a clear, colorless liquid aromatic hydrocarbon. It is widely used as a solvent in place of Toluene to thin oil-based paint, lacquer, varnish, adhesives and enamel when a slower rate of evaporation is desired. It may also be used as a clean-up solvent for tools and equipment immediately after use.
