Solvable Mineral Spirits and Cosmoline?

[Hastur]

I see a lot of recommendations for dunking caked cosmoline in mineral spirits to dissolve. The stuff I got says "Solvable" on it so I wanted to make sure it is the same stuff and safe to use on a blued finish.

First time doing this, my plan is to soak in mineral spirits for an hour, and then transfer to another pan to spray ballistol and give a wipedown

Any other tips?

You’re good to go. I usually use Fluid Film or Rust Check letting it soak for an hour then scrub with a brush. Cosmoline can also be boiled off. Chuck parts in a pan off boiling water and boil for a few minutes.

I believe Solvable is the brand name. Purchased it at Home Depot?

Solve able is brand name like stated above but most solvents will work. Mineral spirits , acatone , Mek, xylene, paint thinner
