Bartoline Pure Turpentine Organic Oil Based Paint Cleaner Thinner - 500ml - White

It is manufactured from the distillate extruded from pine trees, making it a naturally organic-based solvent.

No, Bartoline Pure Turpentine is specifically for oil-based paints and mediums. It is not compatible with acrylics.

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks, and open flames, with the container tightly closed.

It can be used indoors, but only in a very well-ventilated space due to its strong odor. Outdoor use is often preferred.

Turpentine is a natural solvent derived from pine resin, known for its strong odor and effectiveness. Mineral spirits are a petroleum-distilled solvent, generally less pungent and slower evaporating, often used as a less expensive alternative.

Turpentine is a volatile solvent that evaporates relatively quickly, promoting faster drying times for oil paints compared to using oil mediums alone.

While it's a strong solvent, its primary intended use is for oil-based art materials. Its strong odor and potential to damage certain surfaces mean it's best kept for its intended purpose.

Ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area. Open windows, use a fan, or work outdoors. Consider using a respirator if ventilation is consistently poor.

Ensure you are using pure turpentine and that the paint is oil-based. The ratio of turpentine to paint may need adjustment based on the desired consistency.

While turpentine cleans effectively, always follow up with soap and water to remove residual solvent. For very stubborn paint, a second cleaning with turpentine may be necessary, followed by soap and water.
