This chemical good for anything?

At work we have a bunch of left over Varn Type Wash. It is 54% toluene 21% hexane and 24% isopropanol.

Other than cleaning the motor in my car and getting high. What model railroad use would this work for?

Sounds like something that can be used for cleaning N scale loco mechanisms (metal and Delrin or other slippery engineering plastic parts).  Don't get it near polystyrene or ABS parts.

Varn Type Wash, recommended by MBO America to clean the ink off polyurethane rollers with out damaging the polyurethane.

Try to invent a new scenery technique with it and submit the article to MR.

"Easy Road Weathering with 54% toluene 21% hexane and 24% isopropanol"
