Question 2

Has anyone used this product for weed control?

Accepted Answer

Haven't used this particular brand but a few years ago I purchased D-limonene and have used it successfully for weed control. I mix a little dishwashing liquid with it as a surfactant. Sometimes a second application is necessary for particularly tough weeds but overall, it works pretty well. Sure beats toxic chemical defoliants.

Question 3

Is it a disinfectant?

Accepted Answer

The CDC recommends this cleaner. I'm using it now and the smell is awesome.  This stuff gets things clean. I did test it out with a black light. No glowing area where I cleaned.

Question 4

Can it be used to thin tung oil?

Accepted Answer

I have not used this product in that way but I did some research. I understand that this citrus solvent predominantly comprises limonene, a chemical extracted and purified from orange peels. I found that citrus solvent is recommended for use in thinning tung oil. Limonene is a hydrocarbon that is miscible with tung oil and has a small vapor pressure that allows it to evaporate after applying. I encourage you to search "tung oil citrus solvent" yourself. My understanding is that this product is a substitute for citrus solvent. I wish you much success.
