I have made several gallons of this wonderful stuff and have noted that in the recipe it gives you 2 options to use either turpentine or mineral spirits. I did both. Is there a discernible difference? Is one better than the other?

Has anyone made the eds red plus? I did and it only took a few minutes before it would start layering, so in order to use it I have to constantly shake it. Kind of a pain. Any tips?

What do you use as a container? I take empty cans of ballistol, that way I can use the spray nozzle, and its metal so the acetone won't affect it like a plastic spray bottle.
