Today I checked the shelfs of 2 of the US's biggest Hardware Depots and I didn't find any toluene.
Not stores or Companies,,, but what are some sources for toluene. No I dont want a substitute,
Not unless it's an EasyOTC purchase and the substitution has paths that lead to a useful Benzaldehyde.

Hexane can be converted to benzaldehyde as follows:
Buy hexane. Then, but it in a jar and leave it there for a while. In the meantime, buy benzoic acid. Reduce it with LiAlH4, and PRESTO! you have benzaldehide. Alternatively, buy benzyl alcohol. Oxidixe it carefully with KMnO4 and VOILA! you have benzaldehyde. Wow - the power of modern chemistry.

he reduces the benzoic with LiAlH4 whats even more OTC......
Benzaldehyde aka oil of bitter almonds will be easier to get as one of these, and whats about toluene + MnO2 + H2SO4 --> benzaldehyde?
ah, UTFSE!
anything goes
(if you donīt live on a jail island as it seems. Placebo must be warder as he never reports these problems......
