What's the difference on a practical 'gloss painting' level between
Turps Sub & White Spirit?

White spirit evaporates, turps sub. leaves an oily residue.

Use white spirit for everything.

You can use turps sub. for most things, certainly for thinning paint.
However you can't clean things with it as well. I can't think of
anything that turps sub. will do, and that white spirit won't.


Cheers for that. I wonder why its still on sale considering its dearer than
white spirit?

Incidentally, if you don't have one already, get yourself a
"Brushmate" (and a clip to hold it upright in the van). I've just
bought a couple more as Xmas grifts. Looks gimmicky, but it does
really work. Crown decorator centres sell them.

I just buy the cheapo brushes & rollers from B&Q & bin them when done. More
economical that wasting time cleaning them.
