Product Information
Full details
General Genrock Universal Thinners (S719) are designed for professional painters and DIY enthusiasts who require a high-performance solvent for thinning paint and cleaning application equipment. This fast-speed thinner excels at maintaining consistent paint viscosity and ensuring that spray guns and brushes remain free of residue after projects; however, due to its rapid evaporation rate, users must manage their application environment carefully to prevent premature drying.

FAQs
Can I use this with all types of paint?
It is designed as a universal thinner for most standard paint applications, but you should always check the paint manufacturer's technical data sheet for solvent compatibility.
How should I store the container?
Store in a tightly sealed original container in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat or open flames.
Is this safe to use in a closed garage?
No, you must ensure adequate ventilation or use in an open space to avoid the buildup of harmful solvent vapors.
Does this remove oil-based paint?
Yes, it is highly effective at dissolving and cleaning oil-based paints and residues from equipment.
Can this be used to thin water-based paints?
No, this is a solvent-based thinner and is not compatible with water-based or latex paints.
Troubleshooting
Paint is drying too quickly during application
The fast-speed nature of S719 may be causing premature drying; try applying in a cooler area or checking if the paint brand requires a slower-speed thinner.
White film appearing on the surface
This is often caused by moisture entrapment or 'blushing' due to high humidity; ensure the application environment is dry and well-ventilated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the S719 thinner effectively, ensure your workspace is well-ventilated to mitigate fumes. When thinning paint, always refer to the specific paint manufacturer's guidelines for the correct dilution ratio. Store the container in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and ignition sources, keeping the cap tightly secured when not in use to prevent solvent evaporation. Always use personal protective equipment, such as nitrile gloves and safety glasses, when handling the product, and dispose of any waste in accordance with local environmental regulations.
