You are right, we probably do call it something other than white spirit. Maybe mineral spirits. And I'm not sure why tar paper was used. There is a full basement, heated, underneath. I think it was something they did 50 yrs ago.

I have an old hardwood floor that was covered with tarpaper and then linoleum. I've gotten the linoleum up and am looking for ideas on how to get the tarpaper off the wood.
