Xylene substitutes.

From:"Dr. Ian Montgomery"

        The forces of darkness are moving on me and insist I move away from xylene. So, from the many substitutes on the market what is the current favourite? Although I'd like to hear all comments those from the UK would be very welcome, just for ease of supply. At the moment I use Tissue-Clear (Sakura) and mount from xylene using Entellan. Are any of these substitutes miscible with Entellan, DPX and Balsam etc. or is it the 'own brand mountant'.
Ian.
