FAQs

What types of paint can I thin with Bartoline White Spirit?

Bartoline White Spirit is specifically designed for thinning most oil-based paints, such as gloss, enamels, and varnishes. It is not suitable for water-based or latex paints.

How do I use it to clean paint brushes?

Pour some White Spirit into a container and work the brush bristles in it to dissolve the paint. Rinse the brush thoroughly with soap and water after cleaning with the solvent.

Is this product flammable?

Yes, like most solvents, Bartoline White Spirit is flammable. Keep it away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces.

Does it have a strong smell?

This is a 'low odor' formulation, meaning it has a less intense smell than traditional white spirit. However, good ventilation is still recommended during use.

Can I use it for general degreasing?

Yes, Bartoline White Spirit can be used for general DIY cleaning purposes, including degreasing surfaces before painting or for other maintenance tasks.

What does BS245 compliance mean?

BS245 is a British Standard that specifies requirements for petroleum spirits (white spirit) used for paint thinning and cleaning. Compliance indicates the product meets certain quality and safety specifications.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick for application.

Add Bartoline White Spirit gradually (in small increments) while stirring until the desired consistency is reached. Do not over-thin.

Paint brushes are hardened with dried paint.

Soak brushes in Bartoline White Spirit, working the solvent through the bristles. Repeat as necessary until paint is dissolved. Clean thoroughly with soap and water afterwards.

Product has an unusually strong odor.

While low odor, some scent is expected. Ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area. If the odor is excessive, check that the container is properly sealed and has not been compromised.
