xylene substitutes

From:Bruce Gapinski

I need to know what xylene substitutes will work well w/ my Leica
auto-coverslipper. I'm in a temporary suite and the Dr. next door can smell
xylene. It's only about 7ppm but he has a right to complain. 
	The thing I'm looking for is a clearing agent that smells like
nothing at all. Hemo-De won't do. Our Cyto department uses that, and it
would just make the office next door smell like a citrus grove.
	I have one gallon of something called Clear-Rite 3 by Richard Allen.
Smells ok but I'm getting a milky look around the edges of the slides as I
use it today. 
	I must work fast as the Dr. is angry, and has threatened to "shut us
down if it doesn't smell better today".
	Please & Thank you.
