FAQs

What types of paint can Bartoline White Spirit be used with?

Bartoline White Spirit is primarily designed for use with oil-based paints, varnishes, lacquers, and enamels for thinning and cleaning. It is not suitable for water-based or emulsion paints.

Is it safe to use indoors?

Yes, it can be used indoors, but only in a very well-ventilated area due to its strong fumes and flammability. Ensure all ignition sources are removed.

How should I store Bartoline White Spirit?

Store in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from heat, sparks, open flames, and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Can I use this product to clean plastic items?

Use with caution on plastics. White spirit can damage or cloud certain types of plastic. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

What personal protective equipment should I wear?

It is recommended to wear chemical-resistant gloves (like nitrile) and eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) when handling and using white spirit.

How do I dispose of leftover white spirit?

Do not pour down drains or into the environment. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations for hazardous waste. Contact your local council or waste disposal service for guidance.

Can Bartoline White Spirit be used for removing stickers or labels?

Yes, it can help soften the adhesive on many stickers and labels, making them easier to remove from durable surfaces. You may need to apply and let it soak for a short period.

Troubleshooting

White spirit not effectively cleaning brushes.

Ensure sufficient white spirit is used and allow adequate soaking time. For very thick paint residue, repeat the cleaning process or use a brush comb.

Paint is too thin after adding white spirit.

Add white spirit gradually in small increments, testing consistency frequently. It is easier to thin further than to thicken.

White spirit leaves a residue on surfaces.

Ensure the surface is wiped dry after cleaning with white spirit. For some applications, a final clean with a damp cloth followed by drying may be necessary, depending on the surface and subsequent treatment.

Strong odor persists after use.

Ensure the area is thoroughly ventilated for an extended period after use. Fumes will dissipate over time.
