Dupont 3812S reducer

NYTrainer

Doing a little reorg./cleanup of our storage area. We brought a few gallons of DuPont Cronar paint (anyone remember that) and Cronar reducer to our hazmat recycle center as hardener was no longer available.
We found an unopened 5 gallon can of DuPont 3812S (fast reducer). We used to use this as a solvent wash to clean off sanding sludge, etc.. We now use SPI 700 and 710 wax and grease removers. We looked online and looks like you can still buy this 3812S and it's about $36 per gallon. What to do with it? We wouldn't substitute it for SPI's urethane reducers but would it be good for gun cleanup or ? Usually use lacquer thinner for that. We'd rather not open it to just try that idea out as we think it would be of more value unopened to any shop that might be using Centari, etc.. Of course if it has a use for us we would use it rather than sell it. Any ideas?
 
Would not work in place of a urethane reducer and would not clean guns good at all.

You might use it for pre cleaning or cleaning engine bays or as a wax and grease remover for sanded paint for normal insurance work?? Just not good for much else, that I can think of.
