    I need a solvent for silicone oil. Supposedly either of these will work for me. I have no experience with either so which should I use?

    It's a small job so I guess whichever one is less toxic and easier to handle and cleanup would be ideal.

    Use outside, do not breath fumes. Both are/have been used as components of paint stripper. Probably should handle with gloves.
