FAQs
What type of paint can I use this solvent with?
This solvent is designed exclusively for use with oil-based paints.
Is this solvent completely odor-free?
It is a low-odor or 'odorless' formulation, meaning the typical strong fumes of traditional solvents are greatly reduced. However, some faint scent may still be present, and ventilation is always recommended.
How should I store the solvent?
Store in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Always keep the cap tightly sealed.
Can I use this to clean brushes used with acrylic paint?
No, this solvent is specifically for oil-based paints. It will not effectively clean acrylic paints.
What is the volume of the product?
The product contains 500ml of solvent.
Is this safe to use indoors?
Yes, its low-odor formulation makes it suitable for indoor use, but good ventilation is still advised.
Troubleshooting
Solvent does not seem to be thinning paint effectively.
Ensure you are using the solvent with oil-based paints only. Experiment with the ratio of solvent to paint; a little goes a long way. Check if the paint itself is extremely heavy-bodied.
Brushes are not coming completely clean.
Allow the solvent a moment to break down the paint. You may need to rinse and repeat the cleaning process. Consider using a dedicated brush soap after the initial solvent cleaning for best results.
Slight odor persists.
While labeled 'odorless', some faint scent may be detectable. Ensure your workspace has adequate ventilation. The odor is significantly less potent than traditional solvents.
