Tecnu is deodorized mineral spirits.

I bought some mineral spirits for cleaning paint brushes. It was deodorized.

But the tecnu is fine. Rub on for two minutes, rinse, rub on again for two minutes.

They say not to use tecnu after using cortisone, but that may be over-cautious.

West coast has poison oak. Acres of it. Less now. Spraying works.
