Review: It's back! - As an old artist used to use this to mix with rubber cement to make my own friskit paper for airbrushing. (Commercial pre-made paper can rip the paper sometimes as a too strong formula, more often than not). The secondary use for this was as an amazing label remover. Seemed to be able to loosen and remove ANYTHING you used it on. Then it vanished. Taken off the market. The Speedball company worked out whatever the issue was and finally brought it back. I just wanted it for the magic label remover it was. Afraid that whatever was changed DID weaken it. Have some glue on a window from some (duct?) tape, but it didn't make it come off as I thought it would. Not sure if the original would have either, but first try didn't do it. (Being on glass I'll have to get some safety blades and a holder to just scrape it off). Still glad to have it back on the shelf after many years missing. Review: Remove Stickers on porous surfaces. *Needs Shorter & Wider Container! - Bestine Rubber Cement Thinner by Speedball, Union Rubber, Inc. is the only chemical I purchase, everything else is all non-toxic. But this is the only product that will do the job of removing old and new Stickers and annoying price tags, and if you need to thin-out you're drying out rubber cement. [Goo Gone is only good for non-porous surfaces.] Have been using Bestine for decades since design school. Hard to find, especially in the larger 32 oz size, and the 16 oz smaller size has gotten more expensive. Can't find it in any craft stores anymore, and can’t find it in Art Supply πŸ–ŒοΈ 🎨 Stores because they don't exist locally anymore unfortunately :( So desertcart.com thank you πŸ™πŸ» for stocking this product! *But the product/ container needs to be shipped way more protected 🎁, and carefully! I also recommend a manufacture Speedball to tape the cap closed so it doesn't leak and evaporate during shipment, which I recently have experienced. Especially when shipping all the way across the country. REQUEST: Speedball, Union Rubber, Inc., I would like to see the metal canister redesigned of a different shape; to a Shorter and Wider ↔️ size, so it is more stable and not so top-heavy when utilizing the product on the end-users work surface! Over the years I noticed the metal utilized in there canister is getting thinner, so it dents more easily :( See attached photos. The white plastic cap is just like the medicine bottle safety caps obviously for safety purposes, but it is still a slight pain to deal with, and can easily cause you to knock the top-heavy metal canister over spilling πŸ«— the solvent. That’s one major reason why it needs to be a shorter πŸ“ squatter container. GearFreakNY Approved πŸ‘πŸ»! But needs a packaging/container revamp! ## Features - manufacturer: Speedball Art Products - Item Trademark: SPEEDBALL ART PRODUCTS - Item Category: Home ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004O7HM38 | | Brand | Bestine | | Brand Name | Bestine | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 997 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00089665002017 | | Item Type Name | Bestine Solvent and Thinner | | Item Volume | 473 Milliliters | | Item Weight | 0.45 Kilograms | | Item volume | 473 Milliliters | | Item weight | 0.45 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Union Rubber, Inc. | | Model Number | 201 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 201 | | Size | 16 Ounce | | UPC | 089665002017 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Unit count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bestine - **Item Volume:** 473 Milliliters - **Item Weight:** 0.45 Kilograms - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 1.00 Count ## Images ![Solvent and Thinner for Rubber Cement – Cleans Ink, Adhesive and Parts, 16 Ounce Can - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91NDuOt2fpL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: The Item for sale is 100% pure n-heptane, right? Better yet, can you tell me all the chemicals listed on the can?** A: Why does the SDS say 40% n-Heptane? OK I checked the wiki: "Heptane is commercially available as mixed isomers for use in paints and coatings, as the rubber cement solvent Bestine..." The remaining 60% are the isomers of heptane. **Q: Is this safe to use in removing the protective paper from acrylic?** A: I work for a printing & graphics company. I use Bestine every day. It is safe on acrylic. Just be careful what you're using to rub the material with. Make sure the cloth, or cotton, is clean & soft. Change out the cloth frequently, as the adhesive you are removing builds up & causes smearing. **Q: Will this remove rubber cement from fabrics too? I spilled it all over my backpack** A: Bestine will thin rubber cement. As the rubber cement thins, I believe it will soak further into the fabric. Do not use bestine. To get rubber cement up from the fabric I would try to roll it out. A little rubber cement rolled off the fabric, will roll into a ball of rubber cement. Rubber cement sticks to rubber cement. Use the little ball of rubber cement, dabbed onto the rubber cement on the fabric, to pull the rubber cement off the fabric. **Q: I need a way to dispense this better. We currently use a spray bottle but it seems to break the seal or something of that manner. any suggestions?** A: I have a container that looks like a cone-shaped oil can with a screw top that loosens but doesn't come off. It's the best way to use Bestine, and used to be sold along side the cans. It removes all kinds of petroleum and plant based adhesives. The original "oil cans" don't seem to be available, but there is a Polish brand that's similar, The Squirt Thinner dispenser by Double E Distributing. It sometimes shows up in an Amazon search.Bestine is toluene, which is NOT a flammable liquid. However, the vapor/gas is. We used to dip our fingers in Bestine and light it. The gas would burn, but not burn our skin.

But needs a packaging/container revamp! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dissolves Wine Label Adhesive *by W***T on 20 April 2021* Initially I had purchased this to dilute some rubber cement in order to make my own water color blocking liquid. That worked quite well making the standard rubber cement much thinner and paintable. What came next was an experiment. I enjoy collecting various labels when I travel be they wine labels or beer labels, it's something easy to save and reflect on the memories in the future. I've had issues removing those labels very often as the glue is meant to keep the label adhered through heat and cold. I've tried other methods too like oxyclean and acetone. The methods work but usually damage the label more than I'd like. Enter this solvent. Bestine has become my go to for all my wine and beer label removals now. It dissolves just enough of the adhesive to make pulling the label off pretty easy. Mind you there is plenty of adhesive usually left to stick it to whatever surface you'd like. I personally use wax paper to save my labels, but whatever you like will work. The nice thing about Bestine is that it doesn't seem to damage the label in any way. Even some of the labels with gold foil come away cleanly without cracking. If you've ever wanted to save that label from your favorite bottle of wine this solvent will help you amazingly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bestine Solvent and Thinner for Rubber Cement – Cleans Ink, Adhesive and Parts, 16 Ounce Can - Best-Test Premium Paper Cement 16OZ Can - Best-Test Premium Paper Cement 4OZ Can --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/303847414-solvent-and-thinner-for-rubber-cement-cleans-ink-adhesive-parts](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/303847414-solvent-and-thinner-for-rubber-cement-cleans-ink-adhesive-parts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
