Description

This is a unique mixture of solvents with similar properties to turpentine oil. It is a low odour thinner for oil colours, oil panting mediums and varnishes based on mineral spirit.

Turpentine Substitute is not mixable with varnishes based on alcohol. It can be used as a solvent for dammar resin, but not for mastic resin.

Be aware that vegetable turpentine and mineral spirits are cumulative poisons. Always have proper ventilation when using solvents and avoid skin contact. It is better for you and your paint to use low or non-aromatic mineral spirits, though these should still be regarded as highly toxic.

ABOUT SCHMINCKE
Schmincke began at the end of the 19th Century, when the colour chemists Josef Horadam and Hermann Schmincke saw an opportunity to provide the artists of the day with a truly superior artists oil, and so set out to Italy where traditional studio painting was still taught, in search of the nearly forgotten resin oil formulations.
In 1881, at the Academy of Fine Art in Florence, they secured the precision formulations of the Professor Cesare Mussini, a guardian of the old masters techniques, and on these formulations, the two founded their manufacturing establishment under the name H.Schmincke and Co.

In subsequent years, artists’ colours to suit all techniques were introduced, such as Josef Horadam’s patent watercolours of 1892. Through the entire 20th century, every generation of owner has lead the company to its current position as one of the worlds leading manufacturers of finest artists’ colour.
