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

Turpentine is the resinous extract obtained from coniferous trees

Turps sub though, not turpentine


Sorry, I misread the original post.

Turpentine substitute and White spirit are basically the same solvent
which are derived from mineral origin, (petroleum distillate).

Turpentine or genuine turpentine are of course from vegetable origin,
(coniferous trees).
