Usage Guidelines

FAQs

1) What is the difference between thinner and turpentine?

Turpentine is a natural solvent derived from pine trees, while thinner can be petroleum-based or turpentine-based. WOODTECH General Purpose Thinner is turpentine oil-based, offering good paint flow and compatibility with oil-based products.

2) Can I use thinner with water-based paints?

No, oil-based thinner is incompatible with water-based paints. For water-based emulsions and acrylics, use clean water for thinning. Using wrong thinner type causes paint to separate and fail.

3) How much thinner should I add to paint?

Typically 10-20% thinner by volume (e.g., 100-200ml thinner per litre of paint). Always follow manufacturer guidelines on paint label. Over-thinning reduces coverage, durability, and color intensity. Add gradually and test.

4) Can I use thinner to clean oil-based paint from brushes?

Yes, thinner is excellent for cleaning brushes and tools used with oil-based paints. Soak brushes in thinner, work bristles to remove paint, rinse with clean thinner, then wash with soap and water. Dispose of used thinner properly.

5) Is paint thinner flammable?

Yes, thinner is highly flammable. Store in cool, dry place away from heat sources, open flames, and sparks. Work in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from children. Never smoke while using thinner. Follow all safety precautions on label.

6) Can I reuse thinner after cleaning brushes?

Yes, let used thinner settle in sealed container. Paint solids sink to bottom. Carefully pour off clean thinner from top for reuse. Dispose of sediment properly. However, fresh thinner is recommended for thinning paint for best results.

7) Why does my paint dry too fast after thinning?

Over-thinning causes faster drying and poor coverage. Use recommended thinning ratio (10-20%). In hot weather, paint dries faster naturally—work in cooler parts of day or add retarder (consult manufacturer). Proper thinning maintains workability.
