I  will soon be performing my first attempt at an extraction and in the recipe it says: VM&P Naphta, which im having trouble to find. But i was wondering if i could get it by another name. I bought white gasoline, but im not sure if it would work, since the recipe says that you should only use this type of naphtha. What difference would be between using VM&P vs other naptha sources, or where and how can i ask for this specific type of naphta excluding the brand part ?

Thanks!

White gas refers to more than one item so it is hard to tell if it will work or not.  Most hardware stores sell VM&P, although it might be labeled as Varnish and Paint Makers Naphtha.

I would skip the white gas and get the VM&P.  In either case they are flammable so use appropriate precautions.
